Who we are

Generate was founded in 1972 to make sure that people with learning disabilities weren’t isolated in their local community. Today that passion still inspires our staff: to support people with learning disabilities to live their lives, in the way they choose – enabling people to discover their passions, connect with their communities and explore ‘possibilities’. This passion drives the quality of the work we do.

We are members of the Connection Coalition and the Gr8 Support Movement.

We work together with people with a learning disability, autism and other disabilities to have better lives and connect to the community as equal citizens. We focus on people’s strengths, promoting independence and inclusion, through learning, work and leisure opportunities.
