Specialist Residential care for individuals with learning disabilities.
What we want
We want a world where people with a learning disability are valued equally, listened to and included. Everything we do is about making this world a reality.
How we are doing it
We’re here to improve the lives of people with a learning disability and their families now, and fight alongside them for a better future. We team up with our network of over 300 local groups to reach people across England, Northern Ireland and Wales.

Limetree Avenue is a 3-storey, semi-detached house in a quiet, residential street within quarter of a mile of Retford town centre, near shops, pubs, and cinema and leisure facilities. The home caters for six male and female residents with learning disabilities. It was established in 1991 and five of the residents have been there since that time. The latest addition arrived in 1996; no one has been admitted since. Five of the current residents attend local authority day care services for some part of the week. All residents have their own personalised decorated bedrooms, with a communal lounge, dining room and kitchen. There is a bathroom and a shower room; there are toilets on each floor. One ground floor bedroom is en-suite. There is a small well maintained garden. On the second floor there is a sleep-in room for staff and an office where records, documents, policies and procedures are kept.Annual Service ReviewDetailed information was not provided about fees, but the manager stated these are dependent on individual assessed needs.Annual Service Review
