 In 1971, a branch of Student Community Action (SCA) was formed by students of Cardiff University.Students provided support that enabled the people to develop both social and practical skills and gain confidence, and in 1974 went on to start Cardiff University Social Services (CUSS), now Innovate Trust, who set up the first Supported House for people with learning disabilities in the country.CUSS continued to work closely with SCA, who focused its areas of work on disadvantaged adults and children living in Cardiff.
