Last week, we celebrated the opening of St Roberts Grove, a cutting-edge assisted living development in Harrogate!

Led by Paralympian Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson and MP Andrew Jones, the launch signified a step towards independent living for disabled people in our community.

What does the new budget mean for disabled people?

This month, all cost-of-living payments will end. This decision will leave people unable to afford the support that they need.

It is thanks to your generous donations that we can continue to support disabled people.

We know independence is key, but that doesn't mean going at it alone. At St Roberts Grove, we'll be there to empower our residents.

Our on-site staff will be available 24/7. Each flat will also have a call bell system so that tenants can let us know if they need us.
