About Us

Who We Provide Services For

Not everyone who asks us for help can be given a service because we must make sure we can help those in greatest need.

Our first step is to always make an assessment of needs, before deciding whether or not we can help.

After this has been done we look for the best ways in which help can be provided.

To be eligible for a service people must:

  • Be a resident of Somerset
  • Be at least 18 years old
  • Have a learning disability which started at or immediately after the time of birth and which significantly affects the persons ability to live a normal life
