Empowering people with learning disabilities to live lives that make sense to them.

About MacIntyre Care


Tags:

Established in 1966 by Kenneth Newton Wright, the parent of a disabled child, MacIntyre has grown to become a leading national charity, highly respected and committed to setting standards and increasing choice.

We provide learning, support and care for more than 1,200 children, young people and adults who have a learning disability and/or autism at locations across England and Wales.

Our vision is for all people with a learning disability to live a life that makes sense to them.

In 2016 we celebrated our Jubilee so it was time to refresh our vision, mission and organisation plan – to ensure that we can continue to innovate and provide high quality support and education to disabled children, adults and their families for years to come. We are very proud of what we have achieved over the past 50 years and of our distinctive characteristics that have defined everything that we have done during this time. These characteristics are now defined in MacIntyre’s DNA but in 1966 they were defined in our founder, Ken Newton Wright’s, visionary belief of the “learning potential of people with learning disabilities, their value as individuals, their right to equality and their importance to society”.

Our Mission
We will support a sense of wellbeing through a celebration of each person’s unique gifts, talents and contributions, the quality of our relationships and ensuring the promotion of real opportunities to connect with others.

Our Purpose
To achieve excellence in everything we do.

MacIntyre’s primary purpose is to make a positive contribution to the lives of children and adults with disabilities. We make this contribution by ensuring that all our interactions are great, that our knowledge and skills represent excellence and that we support people to develop purposeful and warm relationships.

Our secondary purpose is to have a positive influence in our local communities and on our sector by connecting well, nurturing partnerships and demonstrating best practice.

Your Impact

Every donation to MacIntyre makes a difference to the lives of the people we support.
