St. Davids Care was founded in 1978 by Mair Morgan-Grey and Lyn Hall who, at that time, were working as teachers in special schools in London. During their time, they gained experience in social work and education, including learning and physical disabilities, and vision/hearing impairment.

After taking the chance and moving to Pembrokeshire, St Davids Care in the Community was launched. St Davids Care humbly began in a small house in Solva, with only one resident from Preston until, steadily over the next few years, numbers increased and much bigger house was found in St. Davids.

In the early 1980s, St.Davids Care was almost unique as it provided young people who had learning and physcial disabilities with the opportunity to develop to the optimum of their abilities within a small community setting, but as part of the wider community of St. Davids.

During the 1980s and early 1990s, SDCIC had many referrals from local authorities who, as of yet, did not have the facilities to provide the wide range of learning opportunities that we were able to offer. One of these programmes was a Further Education programme funded through the Further Education Funding Council. This was a 2 year course accredited by the Welsh Joint Education Council and the NPTC. This ran successfully for several years until FEFC was restructured. Many of those who had completed the further education course were then sponsored by their local Social Service Departments and joined us as full time residents.
