Living and learning for a brighter future.

Care First was established in 1996 to address the needs of adults (18+) with learning difficulties and disabilities in a variety of settings within the community. Since then, it's expanded the learning provision to include adults who learn differently as well as adults with brain injuries,mental health and physical disabilities.

Care First began with a short summer school at North Birmingham College in Great Barr. The response was overwhelming and within 3 years, the company was running independent living skills courses in subjects such as IT, cookery and horticulture to over 300 adults with learning disabilities and other special needs. The business had so many enquiries, that it established further outreach provision throughout Staffordshire, The Black Country, and Coventry and across Birmingham.

Care First now operates primarily in the Birmingham, Staffordshire and The Black Country delivering Accredited Foundation skills courses to adults with disabilities.  Employing approximately 40 staff including tutors, classroom assistants and administrators, the organization, is recognized as one of the leading specialist educators and trainers for people with special needs. The business also advises many professional and specialists in the health and care sector due to the level of success that it has achieved with its learners.
