Our Service

So, what do we do? Talbot House is a charity that provides support services for parents and unpaid carers of children and adults with severe learning disabilities who live in the Manchester area. We operate a user-led one-stop-shop service that has supported parents and carers of all age ranges and ethnic backgrounds for over 48 years (founded 1976).

Our Mission statement is;

“Talbot House exists to improve the quality of life for parent-carers of people with learning disabilities. Our parents receive respite and support in a safe environment where they can laugh, cry, identify with and support each other through the sharing of personal experiences with honesty and acceptance”
