Background of Stanley Grange

Stanley Grange was founded in the 1970s by family members who set up Cottage and Rural Enterprises (CARE) in order to provide lifelong care and support for adults with learning disabilities. The community was intended as a ‘home for life’, created as a small village and modelled on the concept of family groupings in individual houses. Activities and services were offered on the site. The community continues to this day because of the thriving family forum which meets regularly throughout the year. Over recent years due to changes in national governmental policy for people with learning disabilities, the previous charity that owned and ran Stanley Grange announced that they were going to close it, relocating the residents away from their familiar homes & friends. Meanwhile, the buildings & grounds were neglected and became dilapidated, which then affected the morale of staff and residents. The family members organised themselves to form a new charity, Stanley Grange Community Association (SGCA), with the aim of securing the future of Stanley Grange and buying it, for current residents as well as future generations. A loan was secured which enabled SGCA to buy the site and the business and they became the proud owners of Stanley Grange on October 1st 2015. On the same day, Future Directions took over the care and support to the residents from the previous provider and started to address the challenges of bringing the service up to date with an ultimate vision of creating a centre of excellence based in and integrated with the local community.
