Achieve together

What Achieve together does

Achieve together is a UK-based specialist social care provider operating over 420 homes and services across England and Wales, supporting adults with learning disabilities, autistic people, and individuals with complex physical, sensory, mental health, forensic, and acquired brain injury needs. The portfolio comprises 182 residential homes offering 24/7 support, 185 supported living homes providing flexible independent living packages, 18 domiciliary care and outreach services (including specialist D/deaf outreach), and 2 day services focused on education and skill development. Five recently opened developments added 38 new homes, and in April 2025 the company acquired 18 adult residential homes from Outcomes First Group, materially extending its UK footprint.

The company's intellectual property is anchored in proprietary care frameworks rather than software: the Wheel of Engagement person-centred planning tool spans eight domains (identity, health, relationships, daily life, communication, community, emotions, independence); the RESPECT Model codifies values of Respect, Relationships, Restriction minimisation, Engagement, Empowerment, Strengths and Sharing of power; and the PASS+PORT Positive Behaviour Support training programme holds BILD ACT accreditation and meets Restraint Reduction Network Standards. An internal nurse-led clinical team delivers delegated healthcare activities including enteral feeding, non-invasive ventilation and complex medication management, reducing reliance on external NHS services. Quality is overseen by the CQC in England and CIW in Wales, with recent outcomes including the first CQC 'Outstanding' rating since 2018 and three homes upgraded to 'Good'.

Achieve together earns revenue through long-term, recurring care packages funded primarily by English and Welsh local authorities (personal budgets and direct payments) and the NHS (Personal Health Budgets), with a smaller self-funded stream. Go-to-market is enterprise-style: a dedicated Assessments and Placements Team processes referrals from local authorities, social workers, healthcare professionals and families, with a 24-hour response target, five-day assessment turnaround and 24-hour offer window. A 2,600 qualified-enquiry annual CRM pipeline and 200+ placements per year demonstrate consistent demand. The organisation embeds co-production through three self-advocacy groups (Unity, Campaign 4 Change, Empowerment Partnership) where paid contributors shape policy, recruitment and strategy.
