We were an organisation originally set up by parents of young people with learning disabilities and have grown and become established over the years providing a range of options for people to access and purchase using their individual budgets. We are a registered charity and work in partnership with a range of providers to ensure that vulnerable people have every opportunity to lead active and inclusive lives. Much of our work is still in Castlemilk but we operate outwith the area and support people in other geographic areas.
