Cheshire Home

The term Cheshire Home started with the founding of Leonard Cheshire Disability, LCD, a UK based charity for helping disabled people through volunteer local communities. These services include care homes, supported living, domiciliary support, day services, resource centers, rehabilitation, respite care, personal support and training and assistance for those looking for work. The philosophy of LCD is to encourage and move disabled individuals toward independent living and live life their way.

Leonard Cheshire supports more than 21,000 disabled people in the UK, and a further 30,000 disabled people in 52 countries around the world. Most of this is through the local Cheshire Homes.

Famous quotes containing the words cheshire and/or home:

    The order of the world is always right—such is the judgment of God. For God has departed, but he has left his judgment behind, the way the Cheshire Cat left his grin.
    Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

    For most visitors to Manhattan, both foreign and domestic, New York is the Shrine of the Good Time. “I don’t see how you stand it,” they often say to the native New Yorker who has been sitting up past his bedtime for a week in an attempt to tire his guest out. “It’s all right for a week or so, but give me the little old home town when it comes to living.” And, under his breath, the New Yorker endorses the transfer and wonders himself how he stands it.
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
