In the charity's own words
The Pontesbury Housing Trust provides high quality accommodation for people with special needs, in particular adults with learning disabilities, at reasonable rents. Providing housing for vulnerable people benefits society as we believe that society as a whole benefits from having people with learning disabilities living in, and contributing to, the local community.
