Nugent

Nugent is a 139 year old charity based in Liverpool and founded in 1881 which offers a diverse range of support to adults and children across Liverpool and throughout the North West of England through its schools, care homes and community services. The charity supports on average 6,000 people each year.As a social care provider, Nugent works at the heart of some of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged communities. We strive not only to provide the best possible service to individuals and their families in these areas, but to generate interest, awareness and an understanding of the issues they face and the impact of this on our wider communities.The origins of Nugent Care date back to the 1800's and the pioneering work of Father James Nugent (1822-1905) in relation to child welfare, relief from poverty and social reform. The work of Father Nugent had a dramatic impact on the lives of thousands of vulnerable people and his work continues to this day through Nugent.
