Beskrivelse af organisationen

Treloar Trust provides education, care, therapy, medical support and independence training to young people with physical disabilities from across the UK and overseas. The aim of Treloar Trust is to prepare these young people for adult life, giving them the confidence and skills to achieve their full potential. Our long-term goal is to create a world where physically disabled young people learn to take control of their lives and dare to dream.
Treloar’s was founded in 1907 by Sir William Purdie Treloar, the then Lord Mayor of London and is a registered charity.
There are four main areas to our work:
Treloar School, a non-maintained specialist school for disabled children from nursery age to 16+ where we challenge our young people and nurture their abilities to help them become as independent as possible.
Treloar College, a specialist college for disabled students aged 16 and over that prepares our residential and day students for the many challenges of adult life by concentrating on the whole person.
Beyond Treloar’s , a key resource to local authorities, schools, colleges and outside agencies that makes a lasting contribution to the lives of young people.
Treloar Enterprises, a trading arm of Treloar’s, responsible for venue hire and the Treloar’s shop.
The activities at Treloar Trust are based around the academic year, starting each September and running through to the end of the following July. The school and college have over 200 students, many of whom live on-site during term time.
Treloar School and College are based on a large fully accessible site on the outskirts of Alton, Hampshire. Most of the site is purpose built, including specialist classrooms designed to meet the sensory, physical and visual needs of the students, specialist art and photography rooms, music room, drama hall and well-equipped therapy suites. There is also a medical centre which is open 24 hours a day, a canteen, a cafe and shop, a wide range of sports facilities, swimming and hydrotherapy pools and full accessible play areas, as well as all administrative staff for all parts of Treloar Trust's work. This enables Treloars to provide its students with a wide range of opportunities for developing different skills and interests.
