Introducing Consult Carr-Gomm
Carr-Gomm is a national charity and registered social landlord established in 1965 to provide housing and support services to people who are vulnerable. Carr-Gomm supports over 3000 people each year who have a variety of needs including: mental ill-health, drug and alcohol misuse, learning disabilities, HIV and AIDS, single mothers, young people leaving care and people who are homeless. Our high standards of support are recognised nationally by the government and we have an award-winning programme for consulting and involving our service users in the running of the organisation.
Consult Carr-Gomm is a part of the national charity. It was set up in 2002 with the support of Lloyds TSB Foundation for England and Wales in order to share Carr-Gomm’s expertise in the delivery of services to vulnerable people. Consult Carr-Gomm provides training, advice, publications and consultancy services.
Our service aims to share a common goal with all our customers – to improve the lives of vulnerable people within the community.
