We are a charity that works alongside people with an acquired brain injury, autism, and/or learning or physical disabilities to help them live as independently as possible. Our high-quality services across the UK support people to move forward with their lives. These include: brain injury assessment and rehabilitation centres, hospitals, care homes, supported living accommodation, care in people’s homes and a school.

We also campaign, conduct research and pilot new ideas to amplify the voices of people who can’t access our core services.

Our dedicated teams of specialists provide the individual support people need to live as full a life as possible. They work closely with those we support, their families and friends, funding authorities, housing associations and others.

We are a charity that works alongside people with an acquired brain injury, autism and/or learning or physical disabilities to help them live as independently as possible.

Established 40 years ago, we have a proven track record of providing high quality services across the UK. These include: 14 brain injury assessment and rehabilitation centres and two hospitals for people with brain injuries, 17 care homes and 37 supported living accommodations for people with autism and learning disabilities, four registered care homes for those with complex physical disabilities, and a school for children with autism spectrum conditions. We also provide person-centred support to people in their own homes.

Regulator the Care Quality Commission rates 91% of these services as ‘Good’ or ‘Outstanding’ – far above the national average. Our school has an Ofsted ‘Good’ rating.

We provide the individual care people need to live as full a life as possible. Staff work closely with those we support, their families and friends, funding authorities, housing associations and others. Dedicated teams support people to move forward with their lives. They include specialists like occupational therapists, physiotherapists, psychologists and speech and language therapists. We use innovative technologies and evidence-based clinical approaches to help the people we support thrive.
