2014Calendar

In 2013 Orbit Independent Living evolved to combine teams from Orbit East, Orbit South and Orbit Heart of England. Now working as one skilled team, we deliver extra care, sheltered, supported and Home Improvement Agency services across all three areas.

Orbit 2020 is Orbit Group’s plan for the next 6 years. Our aim is ‘Building Communities’ – by working together to improve the social, economic and environmental prospects of people and the places where we work. This will be key to Orbit Independent Living’s goal of supporting and enabling individuals to live fulfilled and independent lives. For more information, please visit the 2020 section of the Orbit Group website (www.orbit.org.uk).

We are always keen to work with new partners. You can contact us at [email protected]. We look forward to hearing from you.
