About Community Integrated Care
Community Integrated Care has an incredible history, and a bright future too as one of the social care sector’s leading providers. We have just celebrated 30 life changing years. Our founder, Dr David Robertson campaigned to ensure people with care and support needs had the right to live full lives within their local communities, moving away from long stay hospitals that restricted liberty and choice. On this day, on 15th March 1988 Community Integrated care was born!
Today our charity continues to innovate and work at the forefront of our sector, developing an ambitious organisational strategy that is predicated on empowering the people who work for us, those we support and the communities we work within. We are committed to delivering outcome-focussed, modern services, which promote people’s wellbeing, place them in control of their own lives and ensure that they are valued members of their communities.
To support this ambitious approach we have recently launched our new Five Year Strategy – We Dare! Two little words with one big ambition! We have committed to working with sector experts and partners, working with communities and those who live and work within them and to continue campaigning on the key issues that matter the most.
The next five years will be incredibly exciting as we look to grow and develop our organisation for the next 30 years and beyond!
What are we about?
Our name expresses who we are and what we do:
Community – Our charity supports people to overcome their challenges and live full and happy lives. We ensure that the people we support are in control of their lives and are enabled to follow their hopes, dreams and aspirations.
Integrated services - We try to break down barriers by bringing people and professionals together, to provide joined-up support. This means being an effective partner to commissioners and attentive to the needs of the communities we work in.
Care - Community Integrated Care is privileged to employ 6,000 people who don’t just work in the care sector, but part of a family that deliver the most inspirational care and support across the country.
The special characteristics of our charity are summed up in three words that define our charity – People, Passion, Potential.
