About Mirus
For 40 years, we have provided support so people can do the things they love, achieve their goals, and live good lives - always with voice, choice, and control.
We support people with learning disabilities, mental ill-health, and autistic people. Our services are shaped by the people who use them – we listen to and value each person's unique voice and experiences, creating an environment where everyone feels heard and understood.
We know that people have better lives when they feel part of their community – and the community benefits too! That's why we work with others to build networks that encourage people to explore opportunities, discover new interests, develop relationships, and enhance their independence.
Everything we do is guided by our values: Together, Respectful, Responsible, Empowering, and Courageous.
