Welcome

Established in 1997, this unique talented registered charitable organisation strives to offer the best possible training and work opportunities for people with learning difficulties.

The charity has strong links with the local community forming partnerships with employers, colleges, training providers and the local authority.  It has built an enviable reputation, delivering high quality services and obtaining excellent results in both training and work opportunities.  The Osborne Partnership is committed to supporting people with learning difficulties in their quest for integration and acceptance in the world of work.

The charity’s aims are centred around:

  • Providing training and education for people with learning difficulties.

  • Providing real work opportunities for people with learning difficulties.
