For nearly 75 years, Leonard Cheshire has worked directly with disabled people to support them to live their lives the way they choose with the opportunity to fully take part in society. Today, our 4,000 staff provide social care services support to help over 2,000 disabled people across the UK. We are one of the largest charities in the UK, providing care and key support services to disabled people. We also advocate and campaign for structural change to legislation in support of disabled people’s basic rights.
We are in the middle of a turnaround plan that is delivering positive results but there is still an enormous amount of work to do to deliver an organisation and service offering fit for the decades ahead against a changing market for our services. The Charity has significant cash in the bank to allow for our turnaround plans to be delivered and provide a platform for the future. We are actively working with our customers to reshape our service offering and see this as bringing positive results for our service users. It is a great time to be part of Leonard Cheshire.
