Our Impact – by Chris Knee
For over 70 years St Loye’s Foundation has been helping people with disabilities confront some of life’s hardest challenges while training them for meaningful employment and the chance of social and financial independence. With our wealth of experience we understand the underlying and often complex problems that disability and long term ill health can bring, whether this is physical or mental health conditions and we take pride in our unique ability to support the whole person. Clients can benefit from our person centred approach where courses, training options and personal development are tailored to the needs of the individual.
Clients can also choose from a wider range of services we offer, which are explained throughout the web-site, including Residential Training, Care and Support, Social Enterprise, Job Support and more recently our new ‘Transitions Project, helping service veterans get the most out of life again by offering appropriate support and training.
We have a strong team in place and a collective commitment and passion to helping people achieve and from this, along with our ongoing support from individuals and organisations we assist over 1000 people a year!
We are always seeking new opportunities to diversify revenue streams and forge strategic alliances with new fund holders as well as prospective employers. As a National Charity, continually strengthening our corporate and community fundraising is a key part of enabling our continued progress.
Above all, our fundamental belief and vision is that each individual should have the opportunity to achieve their maximum potential, irrespective of natural abilities or setbacks experienced in life and our aim is to help many more clients along their journey towards improving their quality of life and degree of independence!
