Supporting families, a home for life and enriching the community
2010: The Ferns
Our purpose built, short stay facility was constructed to help families with access to much needed temporary support for their loved ones.
2015: The Willows
The home was designed to be a perfect environment for people at the severe end of the autism spectrum: curved, extra-wide corridors reduce claustrophobia, a lowered ceiling minimises echoes, modestly sized communal facilities to encourage socialising and en suite bathrooms ensure privacy.
2016: Port Sunlight River Park
On the banks of the River Mersey, Port Sunlight River Park was transformed from a landfill site by national land management charity the Land Trust and is now managed on a day-to-day basis by Autism Together.
