Cheshire
In Cheshire we offer support for adults in the Wirral and Warrington areas through Supported Living, Outreach, Lifelong Learning and Shared Lives.
In Warrington, MacIntyre offers:
- Support to live at home for adults aged 19+ in supported living, outreach
- Lifelong Learning options, including a community orchard, at New Routes in Victoria Park.
- Great Communities
- Shared Lives
Across Warrington, MacIntyre is rated Good with the Care Quality Commission.
For Adults
MacIntyre offers a range of accommodation and support options for 16 adults aged 19 or over with learning disabilities and/or autistic people in Warrington. We spend time getting to know people’s ambitions and aspirations and ensure everyone has choice and control over their lives.
Lifelong Learning
Our Lifelong Learning hubs in Warrington offer a range of activities during the week. MacIntyre supports around 120 people across our three hubs in Orford, The Old School and New Routes
Tucked away in Victoria Park, New Routes is a two-acre space where wellbeing, creativity, and community come together. It’s peaceful and welcoming, yet always full of life and activity. At New Routes, we focus on horticulture and wellbeing, but it’s about so much more than gardening. A day here might mean planting seeds, caring for flowers, or designing displays to brighten the gardens. For others, it’s a chance to focus on their own wellbeing through creative projects, writing, or simply enjoying the calm of the space.
The Warrington “My Voice” group is a self-advocacy group speaking up for people who draw on MacIntyre’s support.
Shared Lives
Shared Lives is all about people opening their homes and lives to welcome an adult who needs a bit of extra support. It’s not a “one size fits all” scheme, every arrangement is unique, built around the individual and what feels right for them. For some, Shared Lives means living full-time with a family, sharing everyday routines, meals, and milestones together. For others, it might be regular short stays, weekends, or spending certain days with their Shared Lives carer. MacIntyre has been co-ordinating Shared Lives in Warrington for over 10 years.

Great Communities in Warrington
Great Communities connects people and works alongside local businesses and organisations to make Warrington a more inclusive place. Great Communities connects with people who are at risk of being in “the gap” (ie are not eligible for any or much social care support) who are often feeling lonely, isolated and without a purpose. Great Communities is funded entirely by MacIntyre’s charitable funds.
