We provide support for adults with Autism, learning disabilities and Mental Health conditions. Within this there are a huge range of people, from young adults who have recently left education, through to people who we support to remain in in and thrive in employment, as well as to live independently, through to people who are retired and facing fresh challenges. This can mean supporting people for a few hours a week to support them to remain independent, through to 24 hour support within a person's home.

"I’ve been supported by You First for four years, and it’s changed my life. Before, I struggled with a small team that didn’t meet my needs. Now, I have a reliable support team, real control over my rota, and a stronger relationship with my family. I help interview staff, travel to concerts and festivals, and even work as an Oliver McGowan co-trainer. Thanks to You First, I’m living independently, with confidence, choice, and joy.
Working at You First, I realised not only was I making a positive difference to the lives of others, it was having a positive impact on my own life.
Our team delivers person-centred support that empowers adults with learning disabilities, autism, and mental health needs to live full independent lives.
