About Us
HERE TO SUPPORT YOU
Why We Do, What We Do.
Our role is to support , not only the person with the learning disability, but also their family and friends who will all take on an altered set of responsibilities.
We work with each person, and with those who know them best, in order to identify where they wish to live, who with and what sort of support they require from staff.
We aim to build services around individuals which are flexible, responsive, and capable of of altering over time as peoples lives change
As a person and family led organisation, we respect the steps towards independence taken by each person who wishes to move into their own home, we also respect and support their continuing relationship with their family.
OUR HISTORY
How It All Started
WILL started as a company in 1999, after a group of parents whose children all had learning disabilities began meeting, with support and encouragement from Irene Kennedy, the former headteacher of Foxfield Special School.
This group shared a common concern: what did the future hold for their sons and daughters, once they left school and became adults? What were the chances of getting the support they needed to live “ordinary lives”, in ways that would enable them to live as independently as possible within their local community? And how could we make sure that they were treated and valued as individuals, rather than having to be part of traditional residential and day services which catered for groups of people with disabilities?
