After being in the disability sector for a number of years, the founding director of Outwest Care realised a need for additional services. We wanted to provide our customers with a high level of care, to provide support to assist people to engage in activities of their choice and visit places of interest.

Outwest Care have a wonderful hub located in Windsor for customers to join activity days, build on their individual living skills and create positive friendships within their local community.
