Shaftesbury

Shaftesbury is a UK disability charity and care-services organization that supports children, young people, and adults with disabilities through social care, education, community participation, and related support services. The organization operates as a service provider rather than a drug-development biotech or pharmaceutical company, and its work is centered on disability inclusion, independence, and long-term care delivery. Shaftesbury is the current name of the charity formerly known as Livability, and it traces its heritage to the historic Shaftesbury Society. Its activities appear to be focused on direct care, supported living, and disability-focused programs rather than therapeutic R&D or a clinical pipeline.
