South Yorkshire firm backed by six-figure funding package

ASPIRE in the Community, which provides care and support services to adults with learning disabilities from its base in Barnsley, is expanding into Huddersfield.

A six-figure funding package from Royal Bank of Scotland will support the creation of up to 12 jobs as it increases its presence in West Yorkshire.

Barry Taylor, managing director and co-founder of Aspire in the Community, said: “Aspire’s Directors have more than 60 years combined “hands-on” experience in delivering these extremely specialised services – many of those in the North and South Kirklees – and the aim is to tailor the new services to meet specific localised needs.”

“RBS has been very supportive of what we are looking to achieve, and with their financial assistance, we can extend our services for the benefit of all.”

Anna Ellison, senior relationship manager at RBS added: “This is a real landmark for Aspire Care and a positive gain for Huddersfield and the local economy. I wish them well as they establish themselves and continue to build their business across the county.”
