About Us
We are a service built around you. You are unique, there is no one in the world the same as you, and that is where we begin. We will work with you to build up a person-centred plan that will help us to understand your unique needs, wants goals and aspirations. Over time, as your lifestyle and experiences grow, your person-centred plan will change with you so it always reflects how far you have come and what you want for your future.
Bridgewood Trust is a registered charity (no.700843) providing residential and day services, domiciliary support and short stay/respite care. All our service users have learning disabilities; some have additional needs due to physical disabilities, sensory impairments, mental health or dementia issues. Our service users are aged 18 and over.
The Trust aims to offer choice, great support and to provide the general public with a positive image of learning disabilities, by respecting the differing strengths of its service users and meeting their individual needs and preferences in a caring, supportive and professional manner. All service users have regular reviews to which their families and friends are invited. These reviews ensure that the service users are central to the planning of their support services.
Mission Statement
Bridgewood is built around the needs of individuals with a learning disability and their family and friends. Bridgewood Trust’s aim is to provide choice and the highest standard of personalised service to people, which builds upon their existing skills, develops new ones and is geared towards meeting their individual needs and preferences.
We achieve this by developing and investing in a knowledgeable and motivated staff team who will create an environment where people with learning disabilities lead a valued, meaningful and fulfilled life.
Vision
The Trust aims to offer choice and great support to meet the aspirations of people with a learning disability within their local community. We offer support, advice and second opinions to all those who contact us for help.
For those who access any services the Trust provides, we wish them to experience a professional individualised standard second to none.
Facilities
Bridgewood Trust operates from many premises and has an extensive fleet of vehicles. All premises are designed to be integrated into the community and support and enhance the life style of those using them.
The maintenance of the buildings is constantly ongoing to ensure they are of a high standard and meet the needs and tastes of those who live in or access them. Everyone who is part of Bridgewood is encouraged to consider the need to use environmental resources in a sustainable manner and make use of recycling facilities wherever possible.
Financial
The aims of the Trust can only be achieved by clear financial accounting systems. These systems need to ensure the Trust maximises the use of its financial assets to provide quality services.
The Trust supports individuals and their family and friends to be involved with the managing of their financial affairs.
