Grace Eyre is one of the oldest and most innovative charities in the UK committed to supporting people with learning disabilities, autism and/or mental health issues.We think Grace Eyre's mission and aims are best described by people with learning disabilities and who use our services; they developed a Charter which informs every aspect of our work:'We want to ‘live our lives in the way we want to, getting good support from kind and friendly people'. We want to Be Listened toWe want to be part of Our CommunityWe want to have Strong and Supported RelationshipsWe want Good HousingWe want JobsWe want to Travel AroundWe want to Try New ThingsWe want to Be HealthyIn response, Grace Eyre delivers a suite of flexible, person-centred services so that people can gain the skills, knowledge and independence to achieve their dreams. These include: Choices - community-outreach, to support people living on their own or in shared accommodation; Shared Lives - supported-living, through family carers (people with learning disabilities live in their carer's home); and Active Lives - a dynamic programme of over 90 different activities every week from our Day Centre base in Brighton & Hove, such as creative arts, sports, healthy-living & leisure, and learning & employment skills. Grace Eyre Housing gives people with learning disabilities in Brighton & Hove choices and options about where and how they wish to live in the city; andThe Purple Playhouse Theatre is a fully accessible, fully licensed community resource available to hire. All proceeds from the hiring of the Purple Playhouse Theatre and our other spaces (the café, meeting rooms and a beach hut) are reinvested in Grace Eyre's many projects and programmes. Due to Covid-19 the Purple Playhouse is currently closed.
