Cosgrove Care | Spotlight
Cosgrove Care was established in 1960 in Glasgow by a parent who saw the need for specialist support for her disabled child, at a time when families had no right to support and children did not have access to education. The charity has grown to support over 250 children, adults and older adults today across West Central Scotland.
They believe in a social model of disability and their mission and values embrace an inclusive and accessible way of working. They take a Human Rights-based approach to practice.
The organisation is a medium-sized charity, with a strong Board of Trustees and a team of over 135 staff and 200 volunteers.
Cosgrove Care provides a range of services covering children’s services, supported employment, intensive home support and care at home and family support for children, adults and older adults with a range of additional needs.
