"Supporting learning disabled adults to live independently with choice and control"
Hft partners with more than 2,700 learning disabled adults across England and Wales to live with independence, choice, and meaningful community connection. From residential care and supported living to day opportunities and employment support, the charity provides person-centered services that help people thrive, not just get by. Founded in 1962, Hft champions a social model viewing people as allies creating their best life. Every service centers on what matters most, whether building friendships, finding work, or living at home with support. Hft campaigns for better commissioning and sector change, producing research that shapes policy. For families, the charity offers advocacy and reassurance that loved ones can live the life they choose
