Seashell Trust provides education and 52-week residential care for 135 children and young people aged 2 to 25 with profound learning disabilities and sensory impairments. Our children and young people have some of the most complex needs and disabilities including deafness, blindness and autism, combined with physical disabilities and profound learning difficulties. All have some brain damage and little or no ability to communicate. We also offer Short Break (respite) provision for young people whose families are often at the point of breakdown. In addition, our award-winning Children’s Able and Disabled Sports (CADS) Programme provides inclusive sporting opportunities for over 500 youngsters. We help individuals develop the ability to communicate and make independent choices about basic everyday needs, sometimes for the first time in their lives. As well as empowering our children and young people, we work with families to build the confidence needed to bring up a severely disabled child.
