Our Statements of Purpose describes how we provide our regulated services. These documents will give you detail about the services that we provide.

These are our latest set of Annual Accounts for the year up to 31st March 2024. This will give you information about the financial performance of the organisation. In the current year our Management Accounts unto December 2024 are showing a surplus of £316,543.

In 2023 the Care Inspectorate Wales said they were going to introduce a rating scale for support services from April 2025.  Over the last year these ratings have been silent, this means that they are not published in our reports, but we are informed by our Inspector how we are doing. These ratings will help people looking for services, but will be really helpful for organisations like us working to be as good as we can be.

To be rated as excellent we must not only provide a consistent high quality service for everybody but we must also be innovative and push the boundaries for organisations like ourselves.

Lynda our Responsible Individual has worked really hard with the Locality & Support Managers to understand the ratings, use Service Development Plans to review support, meet people to get their views, to dig into our performance data to highlight for problems, and to use our Service Development manager to find solutions.

In our last inspection, in May 24 we were informed that we had all Excellent silent ratings. This is wonderful but now we need to keep this up.

We produce our Annual Report as an online presentation, we do this so that we can make it as accessible as possible to the variety of people with an interest in our company.

We offer this to candidates to give them the best understanding of us as they take part in the selection process.

Our Organisational Development Plan details our plans for change over the next two years. We will use this plan significantly in the selection process for this post - the Organisational Development Plan will be shared with shortlisted candidates.

We are working to become a Disabled Person's User-led Organisation, we believe if successful we will be one of the first large social care orgnisations to be formally user-led. This document describes our progress in this area.

Our Locality model is key to becoming user-led, in our localities through our Change Teams we have made huge progress in managing our services in partnership with the people that we support and helping them to cooperate together to become active in the communities in which they live. 

We are working collaboratively to rethink supported living to mean more than supporting people in their own homes, to being networks of citizens working together in their communities to maximise their wellbeing.

We have now agreed a 2-year plan with our Commissioners to develop this approach. This will help people in our Change teams to become leaders in the communities in which they live so while they are improving their own lives, they can also improve the lives of the people that live around them. This document describes the objectives of this 2-year plan.

We recognise our role in addressing the climate emergency. We are obviously concerned with de-carbonisation but want to also focus on education adaptation with the people we support and in the communities in which they live. This document describes what we are doing in this area.

We are redeveloping our Monthly newsletter, here is our first edition.
