Lincolnshire Co-operative Development Agency
| 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.
