Louth Interskill
Brief History  

Some 5 years ago Malcolm Mundy, then senior instructor at Louth Social Education centre and Mike Warren, Head teacher of St Bernards Special School became aware of the changes in the way day services for people with learning disabilities were being planned to reduce the sheltered workshop type service.

 
After several years of discussions we decided to go independent because we believed that the Louth Interskill was needed and valued. Parents and adults with learning disabilities were consulted.
In 2007, a project plan was put to the Lincolnshire CDA.
 
An advisor was appointed to support the launch of the business, funded by a bursary from Lincolnshire Co-operative.
The business was set up using various funding streams:- Various grants mainly for capital expenditure. A community loan from LCC and a bank overdraft.
 
Louth Interskill became incorporated on 10th September 2007.

Frustrated by no broadband facilities,we did it ourselves. Being a Social Enterprise has given us the freedom to explore cutting edge technologies that would be considered too peripheral by a private company.
