How Your Donation is Used

Creating a brighter future

Bedford has created a brighter future for people with a disability since 1945 by offering work, training, accommodation and other life opportunities. To this day, empowering people with a disability or disadvantage remains our key goal.

Bedford would not be able to achieve this goal without your generous support.

With your help, Bedford currently:

• Provides residential services for over 150 people with a disability through Balyana Accommodation and Community Housing
• Trains and employs 750 employees in our business areas
• Develops independence and life skills for 100 members of Recreational and Day Options activities
• Supports over 800 people in community employment

To date, Bedford has also helped over 500 people from Bedford and other disability organisations to graduate through the ‘Abilities for All’ programme and vocational training.

We rely on the generosity of the community to make up the substantial shortfall in our funding.

Your donation will help us to continue to create a brighter future for people with a disability or disadvantage.
