Kibble Education and Care Centre

“The Kibble Centre in Paisley is today one of Scotland's largest and most thriving social enterprises, blending our strong social mission with best business practice, while strengthening our community roots and involvement. Working with young people who have a complex mix of social, emotional, educational and behavioral problems, we are pioneering social enterprise to deliver high quality and sustainable services for the public benefit. Kibble has developed a reputation for social innovation underscored by awards recognizing achievements in professional practice, staff development, business and enterprise, equality and a strong track record of collaborative and partnership working. Kibble was founded in 1857 by a charitable bequest from Miss Elizabeth Kibble who came from a wealthy Paisley textile family. In her last will and testament of 1840 she laid down that the money be used to “found and endow in Paisley an Institution for the purpose of reclaiming youthful offenders against the laws.” Almost 150 years later we are still working to this same original charitable mission, but the 21st century presents a different set of challenges and requires new ways of working. Although still based on our original site, the old dormitories and low staff ratios have long gone. Today our bright spacious campus houses small residential units, day units, educational and recreational facilities. Our continuum of services incorporates community outreach programs, residential care, social welfare, full secondary education, throughcare and aftercare, intensive fostering, and secure care.”
