About Us
Empowering people to live happy, healthy and fulfilled lives.
We support adults with learning disabilities and young people in Lambeth through trusted care, safe spaces, and opportunities that build independence, skills, and community.
Adult Services
Independence, Opportunity, Inclusion.
Supported Living
Practical, round-the-clock support to help adults with learning disabilities live safely at home and take part in community life. We focus on building everyday skills, confidence and independence at a pace that works for each person.
Day Opportunities
Our Without Walls and Rathbone Grow programmes offer creative, outdoor and skills-based activities outside of traditional centres. These opportunities encourage choice, routine and wellbeing through real-world experiences.
Community Outreach
Through our Rathbone Connect service, we provide flexible one-to-one and group support in the community. From travel training and appointments to social activities and friendships, we help people take part in everyday life.
Youth Services
Confidence, skills, and a voice that matters.
Youth Clubs
Welcoming after-school and evening sessions that offer friendship, creative projects, sport and a trusted place to be heard.

Project Highlight
The Hive Café.
The Hive is more than a café. It’s a community project where young people and adults with learning disabilities gain real-world work experience in a safe, supportive environment. From serving customers to managing stock and developing teamwork skills, every shift at the Hive helps build confidence and independence.
It’s also a welcoming café for local residents — a place to meet, connect and enjoy affordable food, knowing that every visit supports Rathbone’s wider work across Lambeth.
