The Michael Tracey Project is a not-for-profit charitable organisation who support adults aged 16+ with additional support needs and/or disabilities. We are a person-centred organisation with the emphasis very much on supporting individuals to achieve their own goals and outcomes. The Michael Tracey Project was founded in 2017 by Cara and for a short period of time David. Both have extensive knowledge and backgrounds in support work and creating person centered support packages. Both Cara & David were approached by the families they worked with to create a care organisation to tackle the barriers that were in place for person centered support as transitions were becoming a big struggle for the families.
