ThinCats, the leading alternative finance provider to UK mid-sized SMEs, has provided a significant growth funding package to specialist autism and learning disability care provider, Cedar Health and Wellbeing.
The latest funding continues a long-term partnership between ThinCats and Cedar Health, which began in 2023, and has supported the business through a sustained period of growth. The new facility will support the next stage of the group’s expansion strategy, with funding primarily being used for property acquisitions and subsequent refurbishments.
Established in 2021, Cedar Health and Wellbeing is an autism and learning disability care provider in the North West. Since opening, the business has recorded strong growth and built a strong reputation for delivering high-quality, community-based support services tailored to a wide range of individuals and needs.
Its existing sites, across the North West, are residential conversions that have been renovated to a high standard, with experienced teams dedicated to providing the highest quality care and support. With ThinCats’ continued backing, Cedar Health has now taken on further facilities to support its ongoing growth and extend its specialist offering.
We believe that every person deserves the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive, which is why we place such a strong emphasis on developing bespoke high-end environments with robust care planning to enable people to excel and develop independent living skills and empower each individual with the knowledge and confidence to enhance and sustain their quality of life and wellbeing.James Hill, Cedar Health and Wellbeing
"Our focus is always on providing the very best level of bespoke care for all our residents, with every intent of achieving tangible outcomes wherever possible, and this latest funding gives us the platform to expand into new sites and continue to support more people at the highest level. The ThinCats Healthcare team has been a fantastic partner to us. They understand our vision, ethos and have supported us throughout our growth journey, helping us continue to build a sustainable business for the long term."
Tom Jessop, Senior Relationship Director, ThinCats, said:
“Cedar Health is an excellent operator and has already built a strong reputation in a relatively short space of time. We have supported the business since 2023 and have seen first-hand the strength of the team and their ability to deliver on their growth plans.
“This latest facility reflects our long-term funding partnership and will help Cedar Health continue its expansion by acquiring and refurbishing additional properties, enabling the business to provide outstanding care and support to more residents.”
