🤩 We are delighted to announce we will be opening a much-needed specialist care service on the edge of Beccles, in Suffolk!
Broads View, close to Beccles Quay, will provide the best possible environment and person-centred support for up to six people with a learning disability and associated conditions.
Following successful registration by the CQC, we will shortly be welcoming our first resident.
Chris May, Managing Director Specialist Services, said: “We know there is a huge need for this type of high quality service that provides a supportive environment for individuals to thrive, learn and achieve their goals.”

Delighted to be collaborating with specialists in intergenerational contact and connection, Friend in Deed, to help elderly people to attend the Festival and enjoy the heart-warming singing. This work has been supported by a grant from the Lady Hind Trust.

After seeing one of our residents on a visit to The Haven in Boston, this paramedic spotted our piano and treated everyone to a mini concert!
