Helping people live their life to the full

Blackwood was founded in 1972 by Dr Margaret Blackwood MBE, a campaigner for the rights and independence of disabled people. We deliver our vision of helping people live their life to the full in the pioneering spirit of Dr Blackwood by providing high quality housing, care and support for disabled people of all ages, with over 1600 homes across all 29 mainland local authorities in Scotland.

Our investment in innovation aims to develop a new standard for accessible homes, combining technology, modern construction and engagement with people who live with a disability, to co-design and produce beautiful, affordable, connected homes.
