Get to know us

Active Prospects is an award-winning charity enabling people with learning disabilities, physical and mental health needs, and autistic people to live full and aspiring lives. Each year, we support more than 300 people across the South East through high-quality residential, supported living, wellbeing and employment services. Supported by a team of more than 500 colleagues, we are ambitious for every person we work alongside, helping people to build confidence, gain independence and achieve the things that matter most to them.

We believe everyone should have the opportunity to shape their own future, have a place to call home and be part of their community. We are recognised nationally for supporting people with complex needs to move from long-term hospital settings into homes of their own, creating personalised support that helps people thrive – we have helped more than 50 people make this life-changing transition.

Our innovative approach, commitment to high-quality support and values-led culture have earned national recognition. In 2026, Active Prospects was ranked 8th in the UK’s Best Workplaces and recognised as the highest-ranked care organisation in the country. We have also been recognised as one of the UK’s leading social enterprises and continue to champion inclusion, wellbeing and opportunity for both the people we support and our colleagues.
