About foundation
The foundation has been operated following to the principles of Leonard Cheshire International which was founded by Lord Leonard Cheshire who had initially created the foundation by donating his own home as the first residence of disabled in London, England in 1948. At present, “Cheshire home” is expanded to more than 240 homes worldwide with its Headquarters in London, England.
Management work
The Cheshire Far Eastern Region has eight countries, namely, Peoples’ Republic of China, Hong Kong SAR, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand with 30 disabled homes throughout the region with the Secretariat Office in Singapore. The Far Eastern Region holds the Biennial General Meeting to enable the residents to exchange their ideas and trend to develop potentiality of disabled residents including to jointly prescribe the operation orientation to be in the same direction.
