A huge congratulations to Sarah and Joe for being named finalists in the Learning Disability and Autism Leaders List awards run by Dimensions. It’s brilliant to see their hard work and commitment to their local communities recognised in this way, and it’s recognition they both genuinely deserve. We’re keeping everything crossed for them as the results approach, but whatever happens, they’re already winners to us.

We’re really pleased to welcome Dilan as he settles into his new accommodation and begins working with his team. Starting somewhere new can take time, but he’s already getting to know the people around him and finding his feet. We’re looking forward to supporting him as he builds confidence in his new environment and becomes part of the community in a way that feels right for him. Welcome to Partners Dilan.

We are beyond proud to share exciting news, Vicky, one of Partners in Support’s outstanding Managers, has been named Frontline Manager of the Year at the National Learning Disabilities & Autism Awards!

This prestigious recognition is a testament to the remarkable impact Vicky has on the people she supports. The judges praised her as an exceptional leader, and it’s easy to see why. Vicky brings together a rare and powerful combination of compassion, professionalism, and purpose in everything she does.

Her commitment to continuous learning, her ability to empower her team, and the trusting, person-centred relationships she builds with the people she supports are just a few of the qualities that made her stand out to the judges. Whether navigating complex transitions or ensuring the highest standards of care, Vicky leads with heart and clarity. Well done Vicky, we are all very proud of you.

We’re absolutely thrilled to celebrate our finalists at the prestigious National Learning Disabilities and Autism Awards in Birmingham!

A huge round of applause and heartfelt congratulations to Kerry, Danielle, Jen, Maria, Marian, Georgia, and Vicky. These amazing individuals were nominated for their unwavering dedication, compassion, and hard work, and we couldn’t be prouder.

Each of them brings something unique and powerful to their role, but they all share one thing in common: they make a real, lasting difference in the lives of the people we support every single day. Whether it’s through thoughtful care, creative problem-solving, or simply being a consistent source of kindness and encouragement, their impact is noticeable.

Being recognised on a national stage is no small feat, and it’s a testament to the passion and professionalism that runs through our entire team. These awards shine a light on the kind of work that often happens quietly, behind the scenes but deserves to be celebrated loudly. To all our staff: you are valued and appreciated and we thank you for everything you do. Here’s to many more evenings filled with recognition, celebration, and the joy of knowing that your work changes lives.

On Friday 13th June, Dimensions announced the winners of its 2025 Learning Disability and Autism Leaders Awards!  With 14 million disabled people and 700,000 autistic people in the UK, the winners of this year’s awards reflect the diversity of these groups, their achievements, and their hopes for building a more inclusive society.

We are very proud to announce that our very own Alex received his well deserved winner’s award for all his fantastic work in his community. The judges said, ‘he is a community and charity champion in every sense of the word. He exudes selfless qualities that reach the winning line every time he does something for his community and to help others.’

Alex’s dedication, passion, and hard work have truly made a difference and this award is a testament to the incredible impact he has had.

It was great to celebrate his success among so many inspiring individuals and organisations. We can’t wait to see what Alex has planned next. 💪💙

Well done, Alex, you’ve made us all incredibly proud! 👏

When our Partners come together, they do it in style and this year’s Spring Party was no exception! Held at the The View in Panshanger, the evening brought together staff, families, friends, and the incredible people we support for a truly unforgettable celebration.

From the moment guests arrived, the atmosphere was buzzing. Laughter, music, and conversation filled the air as everyone enjoyed a night of dancing, singing, and reconnecting with familiar faces. The food was absolutely delicious, the staff were warm and welcoming, and the energy on the dancefloor was contagious thanks to the fantastic DJ Aggie, who kept the party going all night long.

A huge thank you goes to our talented photographer, Steph Friend, who captured the magic of the evening with a wonderful collection of photos and videos. Her ability to mingle with the crowd and catch those special moments means we’ll be reliving the joy for weeks to come. Also, thanks to The View who provided excellent food and staff to make sure the evening went smoothly.

Everyone agreed, it was a truly special night, full of fun, connection, and celebration.

Aisha has been nominated for The Learning Disability and Autism Leaders List Award for her amazing work in her local community. Run by @Dimensions UK, Aisha has been selected as a Finalist and we couldn’t be prouder.

Aisha has demonstrated that immersing yourself into your community, embracing a healthy, active lifestyle not only promotes personal wellbeing but also strengthens community bonds, enriches lives, and inspires others to embrace positivity and determination.

Well done Aisha, we are keeping everything crossed that you will be a winner in June .

We all thoroughly enjoyed our mid-December office Christmas party! It was great to see so many of the wonderful people we support, along with our incredible staff, coming together to celebrate the season. The afternoon was filled with dancing, laughter, delicious food, lively conversations, and, of course, plenty of festive tunes and holiday cheer. Seeing everyone enjoying themselves and embracing the spirit of the occasion was fantastic. A huge thanks to our support teams for making the effort to join us and for helping to create such a memorable event. This is definitely a tradition worth repeating year after year!
