Enham Trust | 1

Founded in 1918 The charity came into being as the Enham Village Centre to rehabilitate servicemen disabled by the injuries they sustained during WW1. Enham Trust is now a leading disability services organisation dedicated to transforming the lives of disabled and disadvantaged people. The charity seeks to empower disabled people to reach their potential and achieve greater personal independence, choice and control in every aspect of their lives. It provides a wide range of innovative and personalised services that are driven by the needs of some 7,000 clients encompassing housing and care options, employment services, personal development programmes and community-based support services. It is also a social enterprise employer running two commercial industries – EPAS packing and storage, and Mount Industries furniture manufacture, and runs a number of highly successful ‘back to work’ programmes for disabled and non-disabled job seekers. We provide homes and care services in the village and surrounding areas and have a number of satellite offices around the UK that provide Information, Advice and Guidance to people who receive direct payments, employ their own personal assistants and Employment and Skills support to those who are looking to further their education or attain work. I have attached some case studies that provide you with an insight into the impact of our work. In terms of property, we own 80% of the village of Enham Alamein. We are a registered landlord and have properties of varying sizes that we let, in addition to which we have a residential training facility at Coopers Chase, that provides life skills training to 10 disabled residents who are in transition to living independently, they normally stay for up to two years. On the home estate we have 3 care homes, providing 24 hour residential care services to 57 disabled people and a variety of fully accessible bed sits and bungalows that enable our tenants to live as independently as possible whilst accessing the care support that they need on a daily basis as and when they need it. Our turnover is in excess of £10m, with under 10% coming from the voluntary sector and the balance coming from a broad range of statutory sources both directly and indirectly. Our growth plans are ambitious and include a property development strategy that will see us build upward of 100 new homes in the village by 2020 and further expand our building choices programme to include properties further afield. We also aim to double our turnover, establish Enham Trust as a national charity and a beacon of success in delivering a personalised approach to supporting disabled people. The current economic climate, the growing population and the expectation that social reform will mean further cuts to benefits has caused us to aim to increase fundraising income to circa 20% of turnover, so that we can continue to support disabled people to become independent and have choice and control in their lives.

An introduction

” “

I am delighted to champion the amazing work of Enham Trust. I cannot stress how important

the support of other people was in my recovery, and Enham has been making a huge difference

to disabled people by helping them to really live the life they want to. Providing some of the

best personalised care, in a wonderful location, it is fantastic to see so many disabled people

becoming empowered.

Adrian is 25. He was born with cerebral palsy. As a very young child he was able to walk with the aid of a frame, but since 1998 he has used a wheelchair. He is determined to take every opportunity he can. Enham Trust has given Adrian the power to say ‘yes’ and build an independent life for himself. My Dream “This has been my dream…living in a place like Enham Trust, having the confidence to come and go as I please, and not stuck inside thinking ‘I can’t do that’. “When you’re like me in a wheelchair, you need extra confidence in life. I’m lucky that I am a very determined person. For me the chair isn’t there, I’m a normal person walking. I want other people not to see the chair. “I came to live at Enham Trust when I was 19, after leaving Treloars College in Hampshire. “I always wanted to be as independent as possible. Since coming here I feel as if I’ve grown up … grown into my own lifestyle. I’m how I want to be. PCP [Person Centred Planning] has helped me set my goals and gradually build up my life. Adrian currently lives in his own flat in one of Enham Trust’s three 24 hour supported residential homes. “My main goal is to move into a bungalow of my own here. I’m on the waiting list for one of the new one-bedroom bungalows being built at Weston Court. Adrian’s Week “I’m one of the founding members of the Radio Enham production team. Five mornings a week I’m in the studio as a DJ and weather presenter. I love it. Before Enham Trust, I did a media course at college and got my level one. “The radio means a lot to me. I like to think I’m building up a relationship with the listeners, and make them happy! I feel I’m doing something for the community. “On Mondays I go to Kimpton Primary School where I help as a classroom assistant listening to 5 and 6 year olds read. Children are brilliant. They treat me as a normal person and always help pick things up if I drop them. I wish that lasted to adults! Can-do attitude “Mostly I’m happy and outgoing and if I come across a problem I try and solve it. “My biggest wish is to have a proper job. I’m a Saints supporter and a couple of years ago I applied for a steward’s apprenticeship. I had an interview and was offered a 6 month paid apprenticeship. Unfortunately at the time there were too many obstacles like the cost of travel and needing to employ a PA all week. I was gutted. If something else comes up hopefully I can find a way to take it. “As long as I can progress in life then I’m OK.”

Chris is a much valued member of the furniture manufacturing team at Mount Industries – one of Enham Trust’s successful supported industries. His previous experience in the workplace hadn’t been positive. Chris, who is now 40, has a learning disability and has struggled to fit in. A supported enterprise Mount Industries manufactures high quality school and office furniture, specialising in storage solutions. Most of the workforce have a physical or learning disability and are supported by specialist work advisors. Chris arrived at Mount Industries in 2007 through the government’s Work Step programme, now called Work Choice, to train as a furniture fitter. It has proved the perfect environment for Chris who loves his job and has been encouraged to develop his skills. “I feel supported and safe,” explains Chris. No limitations Enham Trust’s supported industries are places where employees are given the opportunity to try different work roles with no limitations. They are places where goals are realistic and employees can expand their boundaries. “Chris has proved very adaptable,” says his Work Choice advisor Maggie Lane. “He’s now a fully trained fitter and has built up the confidence to goes out on deliveries and meets our customers face to face. He has a speech impediment, so that required a lot of courage on his part.” Because of his learning difficulties Chris had never taken an exam at school. With our support, and accompanied by his advisor, he attended Eastleigh College and achieved his level 1 maths. He’s also recently done his fire warden training. Encouraged and praised “Everyone here has patience and understanding,” says Chris. “I’ve never been made to feel self-conscience. I’ve been encouraged and praised about my work” Chris has proved a consistent worker. Being in a workplace with people facing similar challenges with varying levels of disability has boosted his self-esteem. No longer is he the odd one out! Everyone at Mount Industries and Enham Trust is proud of what Chris has achieved.

Moving in together is the culmination of a fantastic journey for Lizzie and Martin. The couple have had many hurdles to overcome, but with the support and choices offered at Enham Trust they have become engaged to be married, and have moved through the care home system to live together in their own village home. Dreams do come true Lizzie: “It’s the closing of one chapter and the start of another – life with Martin.” Martin: “We all have pipe dreams that are not going to be met. I prove that dreams do come true.” 39 year old Martin and 38 year old Lizzie battle debilitating health conditions. Martin was born with cerebral palsy, while Lizzie lives with Hydrocephalus (water on the brain) which has led to a number of major operations and difficulty with walking. Martin lived at home until coming to live in fully supported care at Enham 12 years ago. Martin: “If I’d not left home I would have stayed in one room and not done anything with my life.” Lizzie had a happy home life, but a shocking experience of trying to live within the wider community. Lizzie: “I was hurt by someone I knew, which knocked me for six, especially my confidence. My Dad died and I worried what would happen if something then happened to my Mum. Doors have opened Lizzie’s social worker suggested Enham Trust and she moved into a Weston Court bungalow, which gave her independence within a caring community. Lizzie: “Since I’ve been at Enham doors have been flying open. I’ve met a lovely fella and found romance, I broadcast on our social enterprise station Radio Enham, I help children learn to read at the village primary school and have a work placement in a bookshop.” Martin: “I’m part of the Radio Enham production team too and I have a volunteer placement with our gardening team.” Lizzie: “Without Enham I would still have been stuck in a day centre with fewer opportunities. I wanted to be an actress, but I never dreamed of going into broadcasting” Person Centred The couple have embraced the concept of Person Centre Planning (PCP), introduced at Enham Trust to put decision making firmly in the hands of their disabled clients. Martin and Lizzie now create individual life plans and ‘own’ the paths their lives take, fully supported by Enham. It is hard for anyone who hasn’t faced barriers like Martin and Lizzie to understand just how hard it is to build enough confidence to move from supported care to living independently within the wider community – especially for Martin. The couple have now made that journey. They’ve moved into a beautiful modern bungalow in Enham Alamein village.
