About FitzRoy
At FitzRoy we believe people with learning disabilities, autism or mental health support needs should be able to live in their homes, independently, with a life filled with love and choices.
Our Hall Drive supported living service in Nottingham is a great example of how we support people in their community and keep them out of institutionalised care. Steven, one of the four residents, has autism, cerebral palsy, epilepsy as well as a learning disability and tunnel vision. A wide mix of support needs is typical of most of the people we support across FitzRoy.
“Give me a trumpet and I’ll blow it from the rooftops, I cannot praise the team highly enough for what they do. They’ve given him a life. I was the one who had to section him for his own safety but he’s just gone from strength to strength and now he’s just a different person. Without FitzRoy I think he’d still be sectioned now, living an awful life.”
Steven’s sister Tracey
The majority of FitzRoy’s funding comes from statutory sources. Local authorities pay for the basic housing and support needs of the hundreds of people we support in supported living services, care homes, as well as in their own homes.
From a ground-breaking digital transformation programme, to assistive technology and home improvements and extensions, we rely on fundraising to transform our support, enabling us to provide the extras - that make a house a home, and a life well-lived and a person fulfilled.
FitzRoy was founded 60 years ago by two parents, Elizabeth Fitzroy and John Williams, who
pioneered a new way of caring for people with learning disabilities. At the time, most children and adults with learning disabilities lived a life of isolation, often ostracised from their communities and hidden away in institutions.
Our founders had an alternative vision – care in small, family style homes and where people with learning disabilities can flourish, living a life of independence and joy, and most importantly, the life they choose. Elizabeth Fitzroy and John Williams changed the face of social care to secure a future, not just for their children, but for generations to come.
Today, FitzRoy remains strongly rooted in the values and ethos of our founders. We are proud to support over 800 adults with a range of learning and physical disabilities and autism across more than 100 services in England. Through our registered care homes, supported living, support at home and day services, we are committed to breaking down barriers and raising the bar in standards of quality care for the people we support.
