White Lodge Centre

What White Lodge Centre does

White Lodge Centre is a Surrey-based registered charity (Charity Number 286238), founded in 1962, that provides specialist disability services to children and adults across Surrey from a primary campus on Holloway Hill in Lyne, Chertsey. The organisation supports more than 1,200 disabled children, adults, and family carers annually through a 135-person staff team, operating co-located facilities that include an inclusive nursery specialising in Cerebral Palsy and complex health needs, the Rendezvous adult centre with day activities and physiotherapy, and the Ofsted-rated Treetops short-break residential facility. Additional service points extend into Spelthorne, Elmbridge, Runnymede, Walton, and Addlestone, delivering play and youth clubs, holiday clubs, and outreach programmes.

The service portfolio spans Early Years support, multi-disciplinary children's therapy (physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech and language, and therapeutic horse riding), short-break residential care, adult day services, neuro-rehabilitation including hydrotherapy, MOTOmed bikes, Functional Electrical Stimulation, and the LiteGait walking training system, plus dedicated programmes such as the Walking Lab for adults with neurological conditions. Underlying technical infrastructure is built on specialist therapeutic equipment and adapted physical facilities rather than software platforms. There is no proprietary software, no app, and no API surface.

Revenue mechanics are diversified across donations and individual giving (including Give as You Earn, legacy, and in-memory giving), community and sporting fundraising events (marathons, cycling, skydiving), the White Lodge Lottery at £1 per week with prizes up to £25,000, corporate partnerships, and recurring service contracts with Surrey County Council and NHS bodies. Targeted appeals such as the Big Give Christmas Challenge 2025 (£100,000 target for the Walking Lab) add match-funded capital income. Go-to-market is community-led, driven by referrals from local authorities, NHS pathways, social services, and direct family engagement, with marketing executed through the charity's own website, newsletter, events calendar, and storytelling.

Broad incumbents

• Scope: Scope is a major national disability charity providing services, campaigning, and information, particularly focused on cerebral palsy - directly overlapping with White Lodge's core specialism. As a much larger organisation, Scope competes for cerebral palsy-related commissioning, research funding, and donor support across the UK.
• Mencap: Mencap is the UK's largest charity for people with learning disabilities, offering a wide portfolio of services, advocacy, and information nationally. While much broader than White Lodge's specialist focus, it competes for local authority commissioning and donor mindshare in the same disability space.

Direct peers

• United Response: United Response is a national charity providing person-centred support for people with learning disabilities, autism, and mental health needs. Comparable through its broad disability support portfolio and reliance on local authority commissioning, similar to White Lodge.
• Sense: Sense is a national disability charity supporting people with complex communication needs, deafblindness, and learning disabilities. Comparable through its specialist therapy services, day activities, and short breaks/residential provision for complex disability.
• The Children's Trust: The Children's Trust is the UK's leading charity for children with brain injury and neurodisability, offering residential rehabilitation, short breaks, and community services from Tadworth, Surrey. Highly comparable to White Lodge in its paediatric disability focus and short-breaks/residential model.
• Different Strokes: Different Strokes is a UK charity providing exercise and rehabilitation support for stroke survivors of working age. Comparable through its neuro-rehabilitation focus and exercise-based recovery services, overlapping with White Lodge's Walking Lab neuro-physiotherapy program.
• Whizz-Kidz: Whizz-Kidz provides disabled children's services including wheelchair services, mobility training, and life-skills programs for young people with disabilities. Comparable through its focus on disabled children and young adults in the UK, overlapping with White Lodge's paediatric and transition-age cohorts.
• Hft (Home Farm Trust): Hft is a national charity supporting people with learning disabilities, offering residential care, day services, and supported living across the UK. Comparable to White Lodge's adult services and Rendezvous day activities for adults with disabilities.

Regional players

• Surrey Choices: Surrey Choices is a Surrey County Council-owned local authority trading company providing day services, supported employment, and community support for adults with disabilities in Surrey. Directly comparable as a regional competitor in Surrey adult disability services, and could be both a peer and a commissioning counterpart.

Others

• Action for Carers Surrey: Action for Carers Surrey is a Surrey-based charity providing support, information, and advocacy for unpaid carers. Comparable as a strategic partner listed in White Lodge's alliances, providing parent/carer support services that complement White Lodge's family-facing programs rather than directly competing.
