PERKOBP is founded on the conviction that persons with learning difficulties have intrinsic worth, and that dignity and independence are best realised through meaningful participation in community life and purposeful work.
Core principles
1. Capability-first
We emphasise strengths and potential. Given appropriate support, trainees can acquire vocational skills and contribute productively. Perkobp History
2. Dignity through work
Meaningful work supports self-esteem and community recognition — our sheltered workshop and PVA programmes translate this belief into daily practice.
3. Family-centred support
Families are central partners. We support caregivers with training, respite and a community network to improve long-term outcomes.
4. Inclusion & community participation
We advocate for social acceptance and practical inclusion of persons with learning difficulties in mainstream community, workplace and civic life. PERKOBP 2025 Constitutions-ROS
5. Responsible stewardship
Ethical governance and transparent financial management are essential to sustain trust and deliver services responsibly.
How we apply the philosophy
- Design training that matches ability and builds independence.
- Provide sheltered and supported work where open employment isn’t yet feasible.
- Engage families as partners in planning and care. Perkobp history
