About us
People need to live in the place they call home, with the people and things that matter to them, in communities that look out for one another, doing the things they love.
We are a charity specialising in supporting autistic people, people with learning disability, acquired brain injury and complex support needs to enjoy fulfilling lives in the community.
We do this by supporting and promoting their intellectual, emotional, physical and spiritual welfare, with 1,600+ staff supporting around 650 people with social care across our subsidiaries in the South East, West Midlands, London and East of England.
We listen to people’s families, and create trusted support that really connects them to their community, building their independence and wellbeing. You can read more about our organisation on the Charity Commission’s website.
Avenues Group operates on a not-for-profit basis, with financial surpluses reinvested into the services we provide.
Our operational subsidiaries are:
- Avenues East
- Avenues London
- Avenues South
- Avenues South East
- Avenues Management Services Limited
- Autism Hampshire
We have a core belief in community-based support, and are experienced in working with commissioners on complex transitions from secure hospitals and assessment and treatment units.
We believe in a future where everyone can live with dignity, feel included, and belong
Our depth of expertise enables us to offer people the right level of support at the right times so they can develop or retain maximum independence throughout life. We also offer supplementary knowledge in areas including mental health conditions, dementia and end of life care.
While our support changes as people’s lives change, it’s always fundamentally based in the principles of Active Support and Positive Behaviour Support.
In November 2023, we welcomed Autism Hampshire to Avenues Group, bringing additional autism expertise and a new range of services.
It’s our shared expectation that all our social care services maintain a Good or Outstanding overall rating from the Care Quality Commission (CQC), which is the regulator for social care in the UK.
