Supporting people with a disability to live independently

Papworth Trust is a registered charity and Registered Social Landlord (Housing Association) specialising in the provision of wheelchair accessible homes. We support disabled people to live independently.

We support choice and independent living. As experts we build and adapt accessible properties to the highest national standards.

We provide accessible properties for disabled individuals or for families with a disabled child or adult. We have over 600 properties in the region, 60% of which are wheelchair accessible. We plan to build more than 30 new houses each year.

We also develop small supported housing schemes for between four and six people who require higher levels of support.

We build to full wheelchair accessibility standards which can include features such as level-access showers and through-floor lifts.

A disabled person may also need practical help to ensure they do not become socially isolated in their new homes; especially where people have moved out of residential care for the first time.

Papworth Trust has supported housing officers to help tenants get used to their new homes and become established in their communities ensuring they do not become socially isolated. We also provide scheme-based staff should supported housing tenants need more intensive day-to-day assistance.

People who acquire a disability or suffer from a progressive illness may need to make adaptations to their house or look for a more suitable property. Papworth Trust Home Solutions (PTHS) provides comprehensive and practical advice to people with disabilities who have a housing related problem.

We are a member of Key Communities - a partnership of seven like-minded independent housing associations owning more than 25,000 properties across Central and Eastern England.

Bringing our unique expertise on housing and disability issues to the partnership, together we aim to become lead providers of affordable housing to communities in the region.
