Share Community

Share’s aim is to transform disabled people’s lives so that they live more independently and make choices about all aspects of their lives. We provide training and employment support for adults with a learning disability, autistic adults, and adults with mental health and other support needs. Share was founded in 1972. We are based in Wandsworth, but we work across the London boroughs, supporting residents from Wandsworth, Lambeth, Southwark, Croydon and Merton among others. We provide a number of programmes and activities that centre around personal development, and health and wellbeing, such as music, creative writing, an art. We also provide courses in independent living skills as well as accredited courses and training to support our students who wish to find employment. We operate two social enterprises – Share Garden Centre and Share Catering – which provide services to the local community while offering safe and supported work experience for our students. We also run Go Anywhere, Do Anything, which gives our students an opportunity to make the most out of arts, leisure, and sports activities in and around London. At Share, we focus on what people can do, not what holds them back. And we believe that everyone has something to offer their community, whether it be in employment or as active members of our society. We aim to inspire our students to live happier, healthier and more independent lives.
