Norrbyvälle

What Norrbyvälle does

Stiftelsen Norrbyvälle Gård is a Swedish nonprofit foundation operating in Järna, roughly 50 km south of Stockholm, that delivers LSS-licensed disability care and vocational support under an anthroposophical, social-therapeutic (läkepedagogisk/socialterapeutisk) framework. Its core offering consists of three residential facilities — Vita huset (a 6-place group home), Välle Backe (10 service apartments in a rural setting, expanded in 2022), and Basen (service apartments in central Järna since 2004) — providing housing with 24/7 support to adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities under LSS 9 § 9. Alongside housing, the foundation runs five daily-activity units: Skäve Kafé (a public café open certain days), Skäve Lunch (serving 30-40 daily lunches using biodynamic garden produce), Trädgård (a KRAV/Demeter-certified biodynamic garden with greenhouse, fruit trees, berries, and 100+ apple trees), Lilla Välle (outdoor environment maintenance), and Kreativa Verkstan (creative workshop in central Järna offering wool, candle, wood, and graphics crafts).

Revenue derives primarily from Swedish municipal LSS reimbursements for residential and daily-activity services, supplemented by retail income from the public café and lunch restaurant (e.g., soup lunch at 95 SEK), conference rental of the Loftet facility, and product sales through the Idun social enterprise (Örtté herbal teas, Örtsalt herb blend, apple juice, ketchup, preserves). Idun, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary, extends the foundation's mission into employment integration via work-training and APL/apprenticeship programs in partnership with Arbetsförmedlingen (the Swedish Public Employment Service) and gymnasieskolor, and also offers B2B services such as janitorial, car care, and outdoor maintenance to local organizations. The organization is governed by a board chaired by Mats-Ola Olsson, with Sofi Ericson as Verksamhetschef (Operations Manager); it holds KRAV and Demeter certifications, maintains a substantial rooftop solar installation, and participates in the sector associations Värna, Famna, and NFLS. It is not listed, has no parent company, and has recorded no funding rounds or M&A activity.
