Sandwell Community Caring Trust

What Sandwell Community Caring Trust does

Sandwell Community Caring Trust (SCCT) is a UK-registered charity (Charity No. 1086162, Company No. 3286106) founded in 1997 and headquartered in Oldbury, West Midlands. It delivers regulated adult social-care services through two divisions: a Learning Disabilities Services division and an Elderly Care Services division. Operating assets include four registered care homes (Hall Green with 62 beds, Allerton Court with 48 beds, Pedmore House with 11 beds, and Abberley House with 9 beds) plus the Portland House Day Centre for adults with learning or physical disabilities.

Beyond residential care, SCCT operates a substantial supported-living programme that places 124 adults with learning disabilities into tenancy-based accommodation across 66 locations spanning the Black Country (West Midlands) and Torbay in Devon. The trust positions itself as a 'home for life' provider, blending full-time residential placements, supported independent living, respite care, and day services into a single continuum of care. Pedmore House holds a CQC 'Good' rating, evidencing regulatory compliance across the estate.

SCCT's revenue model is almost entirely public-sector funded: placements are commissioned by local-authority adult social-care teams (with the Sandwell Learning Disability Team as the primary commissioning partner) and by NHS Continuing Healthcare, at fee levels set by the relevant council. Growth has historically been funded through a mix of operating cash flow and a 2013 social-investor capital raise of approximately £4.1M / $6.6M from Big Issue Invest and Unity Trust Bank. The trust's operating model is human-care intensive, with no disclosed digital or technology platform underpinning service delivery.
