Langdon Community
On behalf of the Trustees it gives us great pleasure to welcome you to the work of Langdon Community. As a Charity committed to supporting people with learning difficulties/ disabilities to have equality of life opportunities, we believe that “we can make a real difference”. Key to this is the commitment of each Langdon person to want a home of their own, find a job and have an active social life with friends.
As a Jewish organisation we believe that a supportive and nurturing home life provides a sound foundation upon which young people can build their lives. Langdon is established on the principles of Chaine V’Chesed U’Verachamim. (Morals and kindness and mercy).
An important part of our work at Langdon is to develop people’s independent living skills. Langdon seeks to encourage and support people to build on existing competencies and develop skills and abilities across a broad range of everyday living tasks from basic budgeting to independent travel. Support staff work closely with people to assess and prioritise areas for development.
Langdon is committed to empowering people to make real choices in their lives. As an organisation we do not prescribe or predetermine the lifestyles of the people we support.
Langdon Community respects diversity, difference and individual choice.
What We Do
Langdon Community supports young Jewish adults with learning difficulties/disabilities to live in the community.
We do this in many different ways, supporting people in Residential Care Homes and Supported Tenancies. Our services are committed to promoting participation in Employment & Voluntary Work, Recreation & Leisure and enabling people to further develop their Independent Living Skills.
The main emphasis of our services is of course the provision of a Jewish Home Life. Our services are focused on supporting people to maintain an Orthodox Jewish home life and great emphasis is placed upon providing culturally sensitive support & guidance. Supporting people to celebrate the Jewish calendar and maintain a Kashrut kitchen are key elements of our work.
Whether this is to support someone to live in their own flat, as part of a group home, or within a Registered Care Home, our aim is to enable people to actively participate in both the local Jewish and wider community.
Langdon Community comprises of a number of houses and flats situated in the North Manchester and North London areas providing both accommodation and support for people aged 18 upwards, from all over the U.K.
Here at Langdon we do not believe that “one size fits all”, so our aim is to provide flexible services that recognise, respect and support peoples’ needs and individuality.
