Our Background - Supplying Accommodation for those with disabilities
Maggie and Imtaz moved to Manor Farm from London twelve years ago wanting a simpler life, whilst needing to be near Maggie’s elderly parents in Cumbria where Maggie was born.
Maggie trained as an occupational therapist in Oxford before moving to London working predominantly in long term psychiatry, rehabilitation and resettlement into community care.
Imtaz was born in Guyana, South America but grew up in London and trained as both a psychiatric and general nurse, working in rehabilitation and also residential care settings.
Having given up their careers to become full time carers with two adults with disabilities living as members of the family, they both firmly believe that this can enable people to become more integrated in the community benefiting both the individual and enhancing the community’s understanding of disability.
Maggie and Imtaz bought Manor Farm to enable them to convert a barn into holiday accommodation for people with disabilities having first hand experience of the difficulties associated with going on holiday.
Additionally in London, they ran a youth club for 6 years and now receive frequent visits from grown up members and their offspring !
Maggie and Imtaz look forward to welcoming you to Manor Farm.
