Celebrating 30 years of Avenues
Friday 9th of June 20232023 marks the 30th anniversary of Avenues, and this summer we’re celebrating all we have achieved together over the last three decades.
We’ll be having parties across the country with the people we support, their families and our employees – many of who have been with us since Avenues was born back in 1993!
The charity was set up to support people to move out of Kent’s long-stay residential hospitals and into their own homes, as part of the ‘Care in the Community’ initiative.
Soon we were asked to develop more services, and within five years we were also supporting people in London, Surrey, and Cambridgeshire.
The charity continues to grow, and today we’re also working in Hampshire, Shropshire and East Sussex through a mix of supported living, residential, and outreach services.
Every 24 hours, Avenues provides more than 6,000 hours of support!
For us, it’s all about making sure people can live in the place they call home, with the people and things that matter to them, doing the things they love.
We’re already looking forward to the next thirty years.
A big thank you to our partners The Access Group and Belron for their generous donations to support the celebrations!
