Ategi supports and empowers people through our services to achieve positive changes in their lives.

We pride ourselves on being a friendly charity with a reputation for offering excellent quality support. We have a committed team of staff, trustees, volunteers and a network of amazing independent Shared Lives carers as well as the many people Ategi supports.

We are passionate about the development of our dedicated staff and Shared Lives carers, and, through careful recruitment and training, we ensure that our values are embedded in the approach of those we work with.

Our values

Ategi supports each person individually, recognising their strengths, abilities and goals. All of our work - with people we support, carers, staff and volunteers is underpinned by our five values.

Ambitious

We enable people we support, employees & carers to be successful

Inclusive

We recognise, welcome & value differences

Authentic

We are fair, honest & act with integrity

Kind

We are considerate of others in everything we do; personalising our approach to be the best it can be

Collaborative

We are curious; we work, listen & learn with others in our journey for continuous improvement

Supporting people to live their lives

We provide person-centred support to people who need support to live their best life. The people we support are unique, common reasons people need support are due to:

A physical disability
Learning disability
Autism
Mental ill health
Homelessness & addictions
Needing support after leaving hospital
Or moving on from children's services

Our support is tailored to each person, supporting them to develop their confidence, skills and increase their independence.
