What we do

What we do could be described as family respite therapy. But our values are about “doing with” rather than “doing to”. Our volunteers work alongside our visitors, who themselves help us. We want the people we work with to be respected, to be listened to and to feel valued as they help to take care of Longmead with us. This is the basis for healing family relationships, restoring self-esteem, re-kindling positive goals, and building the confidence and capability to face and overcome difficulties.
