We think Grace Eyre’s mission and aims are best described by people with learning disabilities and who use our services; they developed a Charter which informs every aspect of our work: 'We want to ‘live our lives in the way we want to, getting good support from kind and friendly people’. We want to Be Listened to We want to be part of Our Community We want to have Strong and Supported Relationships We want Good Housing We want Jobs We want to Travel Around We want to Try New Things We want to Be Healthy In response, Grace Eyre delivers a suite of flexible, person-centred services so that people can gain the skills, knowledge and independence to achieve their dreams. These include: Choices - community-outreach, to support people living on their own or in shared accommodation; Shared Lives - supported-living, through family carers (people with learning disabilities live in their carer’s home); and Active Lives - a dynamic programme of over 90 different activities every week from our base in Brighton & Hove, such as creative arts, sports, healthy-living & leisure, and learning & employment skills. Housing - gives people with learning disabilities in Brighton & Hove choices and options about where and how they wish to live in the city.
