Our History
Fair Deal is rooted in the history and culture of Castlemilk and has been since the organisation was formed in 1989.
It was initially formed by a group of parents to influence change and break new ground in relation to service design and delivery for people with learning disabilities, this continues to be a big part of what we seek to do with the full involvement of people who use our support and services as well as parents and carers. We also provide support to older people and younger people.
