Who are we?
Penderels Trust, established in 1988 as a partnership
between Scope and Coventry City Council, initially managed a 9-bed
rehabilitation unit for young people with disabilities and adults with acquired
brain injuries.
In 1997, the trust became fully independent, retaining five
staff members.
With the introduction of direct payments, Penderels Trust
expanded its services, working with over 40 local authorities across England
and Wales to provide advice, support, and information services for direct
payment recipients.
This remains a core part of our work today.
Our service portfolio has grown to meet changing market
needs.
We now offer additional services including PA Finder (online PA
registers), appointeeships, deputyships, and personal health budget support.
From our origins as a small rehabilitation unit, Penderels
Trust has evolved into a comprehensive support service provider, adapting to
the changing landscape of social care and empowering individuals with
disabilities to live independently.
Our mission and values
Penderels Trust was established with the objective of
enabling disabled individuals to live independent lives in the community by
employing personal care assistants or agency support.
More recently, with the
implementation of personal budgets and personal health budgets, Penderels Trust
has enabled individuals to establish and achieve personal life objectives in
addition to a care-based support.
Location
Penderels Trust’s head office is in Coventry but we have several
local offices across England and offer support to many areas across England and
Wales.
