Objectives

Share works with disabled people who need extra help and support to realise their dreams and aspirations. We are a centre for learning and wellbeing for adults with learning disabilities, autism, physical disabilities, and mental health needs. Our aim is to help people live independent, happy, and healthy lives, and make their own choices.

 

Share was founded in 1972. We are based in the London Borough of Wandsworth, but we work across London, supporting residents from Lambeth, Southwark, Croydon and Merton among others.

We focus on what people can do, not what holds them back. And we believe that everyone has something to offer their community, whether it be in employment or as active members of our society. 

Activities

We are a training centre providing learning and wellbeing resources to help adults with learning disabilities, autism, and other support needs live life to the full.

We provide a holistic service, offering accredited training to help people move towards employment, and personal development courses to boost independence and help people feel more confident.

We help people get out socially, run a befriending service, and provide family liaison support.

We focus on health and wellbeing and we also offer exercise sessions, yoga, and creative writing classes.

In addition to our training and wellbeing programmes we run two social enterprises, Share Nurseries providing plants for sale to the public, and Share Catering taking on external catering contracts for meetings and events.

We operate from three sites, our main building is in Clapham Junction, we also run services in Brixton, and our garden site is in Tooting.
