The Pendragon Community Trust was formed by a group of parents and carers together with other compassionate and committed professionals.

The original aims of the trust to establish a village-type community in North Yorkshire for adults with learning disabilities has evolved over the past few years. Changes to the way services are funded, specifically Direct Payments and Person Centered approaches, as well as the closure of day center services have identified a real priority for day service provision especially for those with more profound learning disabilities.

The Trust has, from the outset, been driven by the core ideals of a very deep respect for the adult with severe and complex needs. They regarded them as unique people with particular physical social and spiritual needs whose individuality can only be developed and enhanced through the quality of care and of the living environment created.

It is all too easy to underestimate the sensitivity, the needs, the pleasures and the joys of those with more profound learning difficulties and therefore the importance and meaning of quality of environment and of experiences to them in terms of their wellbeing and development.
