Over the past year, we’ve continued to focus on what matters most for our charity, which is supporting disabled people to live, work and enjoy life.
With over 100 years of history, Enham's real strength in the difference it makes to people’s lives.
In our latest Care Homes 2025 Resident survey, 89% of people felt safe living at Enham with 87.5% of people stating that they would recommend Enham care homes to others.
Enham has reviewed its services to make them simpler, improve value for money, and focus on what really helps people. The Sports Pavilion has been upgraded and is now a welcoming space the community can enjoy. They have also focused on projects that directly support disabled people to be more independent, feel included, and improve their quality of life.
We raised more money than expected this year, going over our target. A large part of this came from gifts left to the charity in people’s wills.
As this type of income can change from year to year, we continue to focus on raising regular, reliable funding and rely on ongoing donations to support our work.
Corporate volunteers have also made a real difference across Enham. Our Choices Programme continues to provide valuable opportunities for disabled people, offering activities and support sessions that help build skills, confidence and independence. This year the Choices Programme delivered 3,412 hours of activity and 1,601 sessions for 73 people.
When David first came to Enham, he was looking for a fresh start. He’d had some difficult experiences at work before, which had affected his confidence. He wanted somewhere he felt safe, supported, and able to grow at his own pace.
With help from the Strive team, David slowly rebuilt his confidence. He got into a routine, learned new skills, and started to believe in himself again. David says, “Working at Enham helped me believe in myself again. It gave me the confidence to try something new.”
Today, David is doing really well in his job at Andover Leisure Centre. He enjoys his work, feels part of the team, and is proud of how far he’s come. He says, “Moving to Andover Leisure Centre felt like a big step, but I’m really proud of how well I’ve settled in.”
Now, David feels happier and more confident. He enjoys going to work and feels like he belongs. “I enjoy coming to work now. I feel part of a team, and that means a lot to me.”
David’s story shows how the right support can help someone grow in confidence and move forward into work and independence.
During the year, 163 of Enham’s general needs homes were transferred to Aster. Enham still provides housing and continues its role as a specialist disability charity, offering accessible and adapted homes alongside its services.
This year for Enham Trust, it has been about getting back to its original purpose and building confidence in the future of the charity.
