L'Arche Communities in UK

About L'Arche Preston

In brief: a shared residential house and an office.

L'Arche Preston is the youngest of the LArche UK communities, founded in 1998 and presently home to 11 members, five of whom have learning disabilities. Other community members include two families living nearby, the local management committee and other active supporters.

The seeds of L'Arche Preston were sown over ten years ago, when a group of local people identified a need for L'Arche in their town, and began the planning and praying for their hope to become reality. The result is a lovely old Victorian house overlooking the park, which is just a short distance away from the town centre. And the members with learning disabilities are nearly all young people, most of whom went to school together in Preston, and who now work or attend placements in the locality.

Their families are an important part of the community frequent visitors who enrich the life of L'Arche Preston, and who have developed bonds of friendship with the other families and members. All the different members combine to make L'Arche Preston a vibrant and dynamic place, befitting the age and interests of the young adults at its core.
