How we got here
Originally from Ghana in West Africa, Kwesi and Henrietta have 44 years of combined experience working with children and adults with special needs. Henrietta herself lives with long-term health conditions which have left her with physical disability (limited mobility) and requires support daily. They have two teenagers who have both been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder and associated conditions and receive significant support from various professionals. Henrietta and Kwesi saw a collective need to create a Community Interest Company that would provide strong care and support for families in similar situations, as living in their communities has been challenging.
