Subsidiaries
- Leicester Blind Publications Limited · 100% held · England · non-primary purpose trading activities
Significant events
- “In September 2024 we sadly said goodbye to our residents and staff at our care homes Applegarth and Kathleen Rutland in Leicester Forest East.”
- “As trustees, we made the decision to exit residential care altogether, and focus on supporting more people affected by sight loss across the region.”
- “Following the transfer of The New Wycliffe Home in March 2024 we still faced significant cost challenges for our residential services.”
- “In September 2024 we closed The Kathleen Rutland and Applegarth Homes based in Leicester Forest East, leaving one home, Simmins Crescent operational.”
- “We took the very difficult decision to close our shop in Syston in October 2024 but this allowed us to consolidate our offering within the three remaining shops.”
