Kingsley Organisation began its life in 1987, as Kingsley Centre, a small local project based in an old village school in East Hampshire. It quickly established itself as a unique place where inclusion and personal learning sit alongside one another.

Our first expansion was in 2001 with the establishment of Chainreaction in Town in the London Borough of Camden. Chainreaction in Town was commissioned by the Council for people with acquired head injuries and is now well established and is open to all disabled people.

In 2002 Chainreaction was established in Calcot, West Berkshire, and after five years moved to Oxford Road in Reading where it now serves people from West Berkshire, Reading and South Oxfordshire.

In 2005 we became Kingsley Organisation to better reflect our expanding services. Our building in Hampshire continues as the Kingsley Centre.

Kingsley Organisation from its outset in 1987 has had its participants (the name chosen by the first service users at Kingsley Organisation) at the ‘centre of the Organisation, recognising the importance of Independence, Choice and Control. Within our structure we have created systems, which encourage and support participants, volunteers and staff to be proactive in the delivery of their own service, in the development of new services, in designing our quality standards and in recruitment. We are not a hierarchal Organisation, but each system within the structure has clear roles and responsibilities.
