Shaftesbury gives disabled and disadvantaged people real choice about how they live their lives.
As the UK’s largest Christian disability charity, we run a wide and diverse range of services for disabled adults and children helping them to reach their full potential and develop their independence. This complements our Community Engagement work which supports churches to make their communities a better place to live.
Created by the merger of the Shaftesbury Society and John Grooms in 2007, Shaftesbury combines a strong heritage as social reformers with a will to innovate and an ambition to put an end to social exclusion.
