Families secure future of UK adult learning disability care home after uncovering management failures

A group of families successfully secured the long-term future of William Blake House, a Northamptonshire residential care home for 22 adults with learning disabilities, autism, and complex care needs, after uncovering serious management and financial failures that pushed the charity to the brink of bankruptcy. Following a Charity Commission inquiry into alleged financial irregularities, the home’s services will be taken over by Camphill MK Communities, a like-minded care charity supported by the families, pending regulatory approval, ensuring stable care for residents.
