CELEBRATING 35 YEARS!
Our charity was founded in 1988, supporting people to lead full, happy and independent
lives in their communities. Whilst the social care landscape has changed significantly over the past 35 years, our vision remains the very same!
As we reflect on the past year at Community Integrated Care, we also look back on the achievements that have made us one of the UK's most successful social care charities...
15th March 1988
Community Integrated Care was founded by North West-based GP, Dr David Robertson, as one of the original pioneers of the Care in the Community agenda following the closure of long- stay hospitals.
1993
Extending our life-changing support, we opened our first services and regional office in
the North East, based in Darlington.
1997 - 1998
Our first services in Scotland opened, in Edinburgh and Aberdeenshire, expanding our reach even further across the UK.
