The Cromehurst Foundation is a registered charity established to support the Cromehurst Cottage and to provide funding for Cromehurst Special School.

​

Over 20 years ago, the parents and principal at Cromehurst School decided that, to gain their maximum level of independence, each student needed to acquire "living skills".

 

For many families the pace of ordinary life leaves little time to provide the intensive one to one training necessary to develop this skills. To fill that gap, the Advanced Living Skills program was established at Cromehurst Cottage.
