The Garwood Foundation

Homepage

The Garwood Foundation, founded in 1952, is an independent charity providing a wide range of services for local children and adults with disabilities, their families and their carers.  Our services include:-

 Rutherford School is a mixed day school for children aged 2 - 16 years who have profound and multiple learning difficulties with physical disabilities and complex medical needs; many also have visual and hearing impairments.  Up to 28 children attend on a daily basis.

 The Bramley Hill Centre is a day centre for up to 60 young adults with a wide range of physical disabilities.  The centre provides a friendly environment with work, occupational health facilities and a wide range of activities.  The aim of the centre is to encourage confidence, develop skills and to motivate each individual to use their abilities to the full.

 Jean Garwood House is a registered residential home providing accommodation with full care and support to 13 adults with physical disabilities.  A respite room is also available - a valuable resource for families and carers.  The residents at the home are encouraged to lead as independent and sociable lives as possible with the support of the care team.
