About Us

Drive is an innovative registered charity providing specialist support across South East Wales to people with learning disabilities, mental health issues, autism spectrum disorder, physical disabilities, complex health needs, dementia and people who can challenge services. Drive provides 24 hour Supported Living Services or targeted support to those living with families or on their own. We also have a respite care facility and a horticultural project. Established in 1983, Drive has grown to work in partnership with 5 local authorities: Rhondda Cynon Taff, Bridgend, Merthyr Tydfil, Monmouthshire and Neath Port Talbot. We currently employ over 600 staff and support over 250 people. Drive's uniqueness lies in our participative culture. We believe that the involvement of service users, families and staff in the planning and delivery of services is crucial to the effectiveness of our support. We strive to find creative ways to help people live the life they choose, "your life, your way."
