L'Arche Liverpool |

Introduction
L'Arche was founded by Jean Vannier. Three people from Liverpool went to a Jean Vanier retreat and were inspired to set up a house in Liverpool. So in 1976 a house in Fairfield Crescent was opened and called The Anchorage. The community grew quickly and in 1978 a second house, The Well, was opened in Grove Road. As well as providing living accommodation L'Arche began to provide limited day care employment facilities. This grew and in 1981 The Bridge was opened to provide such facilities in improved surroundings. During 1982 the house next door to The Well opened as futher living accommodation called The Spring. In 1983 a horticultural project called The Barrow opened. A new direction was followed in the opening of The Coracle in Newsham Drive in 1985 in that this time the house catered for people with a more profound disability, and therefore of a more dependant nature. Tabor, in Carstairs Road was opened as a House of rest and prayer in 1986. The fifth residential house opened in 1987 in Huntly Road and is known as Siloam. In the same year a small therapy project known as Bethesda opened in Kelso Road. Finally in 1990 the workshops and offices moved into The Ark on Lockerby Road. The community is now complete - for the time being.
