Born in Cheshire, England, Group Captain Geoffrey Leonard Cheshire, (Victoria Cross, Order of Merit,

Distinguished Service Orders & Two Bars, Distinguished Flying Cross) was a highly decorated Royal

Air Force (RAF) pilot during the Second World War. But after serving as the British observer on the

Nagasaki nuclear attack he resigned from the air force and founded Leonard Cheshire Disability.

On 22 May 1948, Leonard Cheshire took a dying man, who had nowhere else to go, into his home. With no money, Leonard nursed the man himself. They became friends and this one act of kindness saw many more people coming to Leonard for help, people who were

keen to share a home with others and all chip in together.

Almost without him having to try, by the summer of 1949 his home of Le Court, in Hampshire, had 24

residents with complex needs, illnesses and impairments. As word spread, referrals came from the

new NHS hospitals already struggling to cope with waiting lists of people needing urgent care. Disabled people were at the very bottom of the list of NHS priorities at the time, often left to manage on their own, or rely on others to help them get through each day. As Le Court

became established, people from different parts of the UK and then the world began to

rally in response to local need for similar homes in their communities. The charity now known as Leonard Cheshire Disability had begun.

By 1955, there were five homes in the UK and the first overseas project had begun outside Mumbai in

India. The 1960s saw rapid expansion and by 1970 there were over 50 services in the UK, five in India

and activities in 21 other countries around the world. Now well established as a pioneering provider of

care services, Leonard Cheshire Disability began to diversify and the early 1970s saw it trialling a care

in the community project on the UK south coast. Rolled out successfully, support at home became one

of the many services now offered by Leonard Cheshire Disability.

The year 2017 is celebrated to mark the centenary of our founder Late Group Captain Leonard Cheshire. As part of this, an international conference

on “Access to livelihoods” for persons with disabilities was organized by Cheshire homes India – Bangalore Unit in Bangalore on 13th

June 2017.

It gives me great pleasure to present the annual report for 2016-17 Carrying forward Group Captain Leonard Cheshire’s dedication to people with disability, Cheshire Homes India, Bangalore Unit continues to positively impact the lives of people with disabilities. The Old Airport Road Home To improve the quality of academic performance of our young girls we have adopted different methodologies • Formed a education subcommittee to keep a regular check on their performance • Employed a Personal tutor for our girls. She spends a 2 hours of quality

time every day helping our deaf girls in their studies. She is a specialized teacher with a good grasp of sign language

• Set up a new study room which stimulates young minds and creates greater interest in studies

We are following the universal truth – “a healthy mind resides in a healthy body”. We have taken lot of initiatives to maintain their physical health. With

the funds we received from Bosch we have bought a lot of sports equipment, which includes cycles, basketball and badminton gear. It is not only refreshing for the girls but also raises the morale of our Cheshire team It is not just the needs of the children that we meet. We make sure they don’t feel

homesick in our Home! We fulfill their wishes as any dutiful parent would do. We

collected wishes from them during “The joy of giving week” – from a very small

wish of having a new ribbon to owning a cycle of their own. We fulfilled these

wishes with the support of individual donors. It gave us immense pleasure to see

the joy on their faces and it made us feel the purpose of our organization was met

and the very existence of the Homes was worthwhile. Whitefield Home Accommodating 19 elderly and disabled women, the Whitefield Home continues to

provide the best care in health and recreational activities for the residents. We make them feel loved and cared for by providing them with new blankets and shawls to keep them warm, bright sarees and night gowns of their choice

which makes them look smart. To meet their needs a bigger water purifier was installed. We have created a FAMILY outside of a family for them by

creating a platform for them to interact with young volunteers. It is a learning

for the youngsters and someone to talk for the residents. Cheshire Livelihood Resource Centre (CLRC) As we continue to help the people with disabilities (PWDs) to unleash their

potential to enter a promising future, CLRC achieved remarkable progress in

2016-2017. Out of the 476 youth with disabilities trained, we found employment for

357 youth, reaching a 75 percent placement rate. Notable highlights were:

providing accommodation for 144 candidates, conducting 21 special recruitment

drives, arranging 2 job fairs and working with 1000+ volunteers.

It is not just a career opportunity that we provide, we ensure the

candidate and employer are comfortable with each other by extending a strong post placement support. We keep in touch with the candidates on

a regular basis and there have been several instances where we have helped them to get a better job with a higher salary PWDs were considered a liability by the family. By making them financially independent we have slowly turned the tables. There is a role reversal now and PWDs have become pillars of support to their parents. We have made considerable efforts to secure funding to carry on smoothly

with our activities. We are interacting with American India Foundation,

Eurofins and Sales Force from whom we expect to raise 40Lakhs. Finance: Our treasurer, Ms. Rani Murthy has shared our financial position and the fundraising front, which looks promising with the continuity of our funding partners – Leonard Cheshire Disability, UK, American India Foundation, Eurofins, Sales Force and individual donors. I must place on record the yeoman service rendered by Mr Chandy Koshy our Ex Treasurer in

locating and motivating a number of donors to support our activities. Appreciation: We celebrate the success each achieves, and we are

thrilled by every barrier that is removed to welcome PWDs into the mainstream. I am thankful to the dedicated Board, our funding partners,

committed staff, devoted volunteers, and caring community members who share our commitment to ensure opportunities for all. My appreciation to our legal team, ably assisted by Air Vice Marshal R K Batha(Retd), who handled the land case of Old Airport Road Home with

the utmost vigour and we have won the case in the lower court. The plaintiffs have now appealed to the Karnataka High Court. We have not

received any summons as yet. My special thanks to Mrs Rani Murthy, Dr Geeta Bai, Ms Yasmin Master, Mr Chandy Koshy and Mr Hegde for their guidance and support. I must thank the Daughters of Charity for their dedicated service at our Whitefield Home and Mr Phanindra and Ms Lalitha for their efforts and support in looking after the residents of our Old Airport Road Home. CLRC team of Anuradha, Srinath, Suma, Syed, Vijay, Devappa and Darshan

have continued to perform outstanding work in progressing the objects of the

Livelihood Resource Centre. I convey my thanks to all of them.

Kamala was brought to us from Government Children’s

Home for girls in the year 2012 at the age of seven by police personnel. She was found deserted near a temple in

Anekal in a very pathetic condition, crawling on ground. After admission in our home, she underwent two corrective

surgeries in Manipal hospital. With the help of callipers she

could walk with a special walker and was admitted in Seventh

Day Adventist School. After two years of schooling and special

coaching we realized that she cannot cope up in the normal

school. Now we have found a special school in Whitefield. After

joining that school she is in a better frame of mind and is

gradually improving in studies. We love her smile and hope one

day she will come up nicely in life like all our other residents.

Fund raising initiatives during 2016-17:

from corporates. Our endeavor to find alternative donors to

supplement/substitute the LCD/Accenture UK is on track.

Rs.4,96,77,276 (previous year Rs.4,21,15,153). Other receipts

went up to Rs.21,33,514 (previous year Rs.16,78,242) due to

higher Government Grant (Rs.8,00,000).

The continued support of our regular as also new donors,

including the CSR funding from corporates has enabled us to

end the year’s financial operations on a very healthy note.

We would once again place on record our gratitude to each
