About Us
The Shuttlewood Clarke Foundation was founded in 1990 and is a registered charity.

The main focus of the Foundation's work is to provide wellbeing and support services and to offer comfort to the elderly and vulnerable adults of all ages with disabilities, throughout the Leicestershire area.

Volunteers are the life blood of the Foundation and they support the core activities of the charity. There are opportunities for one off support, weekly or more frequent roles. Joining our wonderful volunteering team is a great opportunity to help us to help others.

Foundation Ethos

Looking forward - through the activities and services we provide, we give many people something to look forward to which can be an incredibly positive influence on their lives. Looking forward is also key to the educational services we deliver, which help to equip and prepare young people for the future.

Doing something different - we provide variety throughout everything we do, introducing our visitors to stimulating activities and enabling them to develop new life skills through education and participation.

Freedom to belong - we are inclusive and make it easy for people to find a sense of belonging through an open community where they will find a common bond with others. This also opens doors to new activities, helpful services, friendships and opportunities to learn.

At home, away from home - we provide a change of environment and different surroundings that are designed to inspire and energise our visitors but in which they feel immediately at home and entirely comfortable.
