Ark provides care, support and housing for children and adults with complex and enduring needs and their families, as well as general needs housing. We support people to live good lives, at home and in their community. We are a not-for-profit organisation with a clear vision and mission that drive everything we do. Our values our rooted in civil and human rights. We believe everyone should have the opportunity to lead a happy, healthy and safe life - to live a good life at home and in their community. For over thirty years we have provided community-based care, support and housing for people with learning difficulties and others with complex and enduring needs who require assistance to lead lives of their choice. We also provide general needs housing. Founded in 1977 by a group of Edinburgh parishioners to help a member of their congregation, we now manage over 400 properties across 13 Scottish Local Authorities, and employ over 1000 staff.
