Why donate?
Your donations would help to create the first VBA supported living home in Wilmslow. A pioneering pilot that could be replicated across Cheshire, Greater Manchester and ultimately the UK.
This project is about changing expectations; supporting those destined for lifelong residential care to enjoy and participate in meaningful work within their community and the opportunity to live an ordinary life with choices.
Most importantly, your support would help create a legacy. By proving that this model works, it has the potential to influence future housing, employment and social care policy.
Our charity plans
The VBA supported living project represents far more than just the development of a home. It presents an opportunity to demonstrate that this cohort of disabled people can, with the right level of support, live fulfilling, independent lives.

This project is about changing the low expectations of disabled people; supporting those destined for lifelong residential care to enjoy and participate in meaningful work within their community and the opportunity to live an ordinary life with choices.

To find suitable housing and adapt it to individual needs we must raise a deposit of £100,000
How we fundraise
The charity team works incredibly hard to fundraise and meet this target to find the right housing for future supported living.
For example Colin Boyd, parent of one of Vision Beyond Autism’s clients, raised more than £2000 for VBA, on a charity bike ride with his colleagues. Their challenge was to ride from the API Ltd headquarters, in Poynton, just outside Manchester, to their sister manufacturing location in Livingston, Scotland.
Over three days, they cycled 290 miles, spending just over 23 hours in the saddle. A fortnight later, as an additional part of the challenge, Colin ran the Edinburgh half marathon, which he managed to complete. Through these demanding challenges, and with fantastic support, Colin raised more than £2000 for VBA’s work. Everyone at VBA would like to thank Colin and his colleagues for this amazing effort. Huge thanks also to everyone who donated.
