putting our future together

Developing skills, confidence, social interaction, knowledge and an understanding of the workplace.

About us

SCB (Special Needs) Limited was founded in 1998 by John Coupland and his co-Founder Mike Card.

SCB was born out of the desire of John’s daughter, who had special needs to have access to the same working opportunities and to experience the world of work as other people her age. She wanted to learn what it was to work, to feel a sense of achievement, earn an income, meet friends and have a sense of purpose.

Failing to locate such an opportunity, John and his co-Founder created SCB (Special Needs) Limited. That was back in October 1998 and to this day, the charity is still helping others achieve their goals and develop their potential.
