From those small beginnings 76 years ago, Guild Care now has an annual turnover of over £9 million, employs 500 staff and benefits from the contribution of over 200 volunteers. One of the charity’s many strengths has been its ability to adapt and respond to the changing needs of the local community over the past 76 years and to develop new and imaginative services to meet those needs.
