In 1972, a group of parents with severely mentally
disabled children attended a seminar under this title
and it became obvious that what they wanted for their
children's long-term future were small, homely units
in the community, providing life-long care and security.
With a commitment to support this aim, K.H.o.C.A.
was started.
Our object is not only to help provide home environments,
with all the loving care that that entails, but also
to help create opportunities for mentally disabled
men and women to lead rewarding and dignified lives.
For example, amongst the organisations we support,
Art for Life runs creative workshops in Rochester,
Spadework provides training in gardening skills at
Hildenborough and Offham, and the Vale of Elham Trust
owns a 2 acre vineyard, shop and tearoom employing
over 50 people with learning difficulties.
Who cares now?
We do. We pay no salaries and our expenses are minimal.
What we raise is what we can give away.
