About the stable family home trust
The Stable Family Home Trust (SFHT) is a registered charity which supports people with a learning disability.
SFHT became a company limited by guarantee in 2002. The board of trustees comprises eight non-executive members, two of whom have a relative with a learning disability supported by the trust. The Board meets four times a year and holds its’ AGM in the autumn.
SFHT offers a wide range of services to people with a learning disability through our residential home, a daytime personal development programme and our supported living services.
SFHT now supports over one hundred people across all our services.
SFHT was established in 1980 by a group of families whose young adult children had learning disabilities. There were few family-based living options at that time and the families set up a residential home at the Stables in Bisterne, Hampshire.
Over time three houses were purchased in the Southbourne area of Bournemouth as more people sought services with the charity and day services were set up to offer meaningful daytime activities.
We now operate 8 supported living services, one residential home at Bisterne and have 3 day service locations.
