Milestones Trust supports adults with learning disabilities and mental health needs to live their best lives. Established in 1986, we support more than 500 people across Bath, Bristol, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire, Swindon and Wiltshire.
Our approach is based around the fact that you can't build a support service around a complex condition. You can build it around a person, if you understand their particular care needs, wants and ambitions. And while that is our starting point, everyone changes. So we change with them.
The care we provide is straightforward, practical and above all, tailored to people's individual needs. We take the time to get to know the people we support, helping them keep their connections to their own lives, their family, friends and community. We support people to live with more choice and more independence. We exist to make sure they have every opportunity to live happy and fulfilled lives.
