Learning and advice from groups of family carers who have made it happen
JMS Trust has been a Learning Disability England partner for the last 8 years.
The trust has worked to empower people with learning disabilities and their families to imagine and create their own future.
We know that planning your next steps or what happens when a parent carer is no longer around can be both an emotional and practical challenge.
Getting those plans right for the future is so important.
JMS Trust has supported groups of families to set up their own supported living, creating bespoke and person-centred homes where people can thrive.
From the outset JMS Trust has planned to support as many projects as it could, with the aim of all of its charitable funds to people and families who could use to make their dreams possible.
As the Trust’s work comes to an end, they wanted to create a resource that would inspire families when thinking about what is possible in your young persons future and offer a roadmap for the start of your journey.
With the help of the people JMS Trust has worked with, they have pulled together stories of success and the bumpy road to get there. You can read about the different projects, and their differing approaches and advice. Each group has shared what they learned in hopes of make the next families journey a little easier.
