Who we work with

Who does Ategi work with?

At Ategi, we take immense pride in the services we provide, but our successes are not achieved in isolation. Collaborating with other groups and organisations is crucial for sharing skills, knowledge, and resources. We are excited to highlight and showcase the incredible organisations that support us in our mission to aid adults with additional needs.

Social Care Specialists Groups

We are active members of:

  • ARC – Association for Real Change: Through ARC, we engage in continuous professional development and share best practices in supporting individuals with learning disabilities.

  • Cymorth Cymru: Our partnership with Cymorth Cymru allows us to advocate for social care policies that benefit our community and to participate in sector-wide initiatives.

  • Learning Disability Wales: By collaborating with Learning Disability Wales, we benefit from their extensive research and resources, which help us improve our services for those with learning disabilities.

Third Sector

Our memberships include:

  • WCVA – Wales Council for Voluntary Action: WCVA supports us in implementing best practices and improving governance within our organisation.

  • ACEVO – Association for Chief Executives of Voluntary Organisations: Through ACEVO, our leadership team gains access to invaluable training and networking opportunities, enhancing our ability to lead effectively in the third sector.

Innovation

We work with:

  • Digital Communities Wales: In 2023, we conducted a survey with their support to assess the IT skills of our workforce. This initiative helps us address any gaps and ensures our team is well-equipped with the necessary digital skills.

Research

Over the past three years, we have engaged in several research projects:

  • IMPACT – Improving Adult Social Care Together: We collaborated on projects exploring how research and best practices can enhance the health and wellbeing of care and support workers across Wales.

  • Royal College of Art - Helen Hamlyn Centre: We supported a project that analyzed city and town streets, aiming to improve the experiences of neurodiverse individuals through thoughtful design.

  • The Mayday Trust: We implemented a Strengths-Based Practice program, informed by our collaboration, to develop the Ategi Approach further.
