Building better futures for people

Cornerstone  is one of Scotland's largest charities and a leading provider of services for people with disabilities and other support needs.

Cornerstone was founded by Nick Baxter in 1980 when he brought together a group of parents and professionals who were concerned about the lack and quality of services available to people with learning disabilities and their families.  

Since then Cornerstone has grown to:

• support 1,249 people
• operate 197 residential services and supported accommodation sites
• employs over 1,300 staff
• have a turnover in excess of £28 million

We support people with a variety of needs, including:

• people with learning disabilities
• people with physical disabilities
• people with autism and related disorders
• people with head injuries
• people with a terminal illness
• children with special needs
• older people
• people with dementia

However, if Cornerstone can meet the needs of an individual, we would be happy to support them.
