The Richmond Fellowship

The Richmond Fellowship belived that each person is unique, and should have the opportunity to take control over their life, and to develop new meanings and purposes. They concentrate on the person and their individual needs, choices and aspirations, rather than on diagnostic categories or labels. They enable people to actively take part in decisions about their support and have as much control over this support as possible, helping them achieve new levels of self-confidence and independence.

Key Community Supports are a Caring organisation who provide support to individuals who require additional support with day to day tasks. Whether supporting people in their own home, their family home or in their community, Key start by seeing the person first. They listen carefully to them to understand what they want from life and ensure they, and those closest to them, are at the heart of planning and making decisions about their support. The support they offer can range from just a few hours a week, a few hours a day, to 24-hour support, including overnights.
