Introduction
Field Lane has put people before profit since 1841. And, as in the past, we are thankful for the generosity of individual supporters, charitable Trusts, legacies and other non statutory sources of funding that enable our charitable works to continue.
Our care and support services are provided for people who are frail or have a learning disability or need some additional support to meet their hopes and aspirations.
Currently seventy five percent of the people that we help would not be able to pay for care by themselves and ninety six pence of every pound of our income is spent on direct charitable services. Please see our latest annual report and accounts, while more details on our charity can be found on the Charity Commission’s website.
The Christian heritage is one which is valued and practiced, for example, all board and committee meetings open with prayer. But Field Lane is not an evangelizing organisation. It does though try to work with a Christian understanding of society and the uniqueness and preciousness to God of individuals within it. Field Lane was called into being to be with people who are marginalized or at risk through age or disability of being isolated and excluded.
The way in which the work of care and support is planned and delivered reflects these principles. Staff, commissioners and service users appreciate that this is a different sort of organisation and that it has strong values.
