Our Mission, Vision & Values

Our vision is for autistic young people to be empowered through our sustainable education, employment and life experiences, so they can learn, work and thrive as equal and active citizens.

Our mission is to create inclusive, community-based centres in the Midlands where individuals whose primary need is autism can thrive, achieve their full potential and contribute meaningfully to society – now and in the future.

We do this by delivering innovative learning and support programmes, drawing upon the value of co-production, partnership and collaboration, so that our students feel empowered in their local community.

Our values guide everything we do. We believe…

Everyone should be treated equally and have the same chances in life. We support people to be the best they can be.

Sharing skills and knowledge means people grow in confidence. We help people make choices and do more
for themselves.

Everyone should be valued for who they are. We treat people with kindness, care and dignity.

Sustainability is the green thread value that runs through everything we do, from the way we support people to how we run our charity.

We follow the values of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals – a global plan to create positive change for both people and planet.

These goals include:

Being sustainable means thinking long-term. It helps us stay strong, responsive and fair – not just now, but for the future too.
