Registered Charity No: 1121062

Coquet Trust was established in January 1995, receiving registered charity status in May of that year. The Trust's aim is to provide good quality day and domiciliary care and support in the community for people with learning disabilities.

How we help?

Coquet Trust currently provides a domiciliary service to people within their own homes, located within Tyne and Wear, North Tyneside and Northumberland and outreach support for a number of individuals within those areas. This has been made possible through the recruitment of experienced Support Team Managers, who, along with the Trust Senior Management team and appropriate Social Services Care Managers, select a team of multi-skilled support workers, who enable individuals to have a worthwhile and enjoyable life within the local community.

The Trust currently has a board of six trustees most of which have a background in the learning disability field.
