HomeWelcome from Tony Best, Chief Executive
Disabled people and their families can receive specialist services from the Percy Hedley Foundation.
Those people and their families are at the heart of everything we do.
On this website, you will find details of our unique range of services, as well as information, written by our specialist staff, on disability and on our teaching and therapeutic approaches. You will also find ideas on how you can support the work of the charity.
A charity providing specialist services for disabled people in the North East of England, The Percy Hedley Foundation promotes the rights, needs and aspirations of disabled children and adults through specialist, high quality services.
Please contact us if you are interested in using any of our services, or if there is any further information you need.
