Gombards (registered care service)
A creative registered care service designed for people with learning disabilities and physical disabilities including profound needs and sensory loss.
Arts, crafts and independence
Gombards is home to an arts and craft enterprise called United Sparkles. People we support create art by applying paint with their fingers and thumbs, using hand-over-hand support with their support worker in the art room within the building.
People now stop our guys in the village to say hello. For us that’s amazing.
