able2achieve

Our mission: To enable personal achievement and progression by developing essential skills and self confidence through learning, living and work.

able2achieve supports individuals with learning disabilities, mental health, and other associated disabilities. We support individuals in a variety of different ways from everyday living skills to attending social events such as concerts.

​ Rather than the impersonal term client or service user we use the term Learner. Whilst more inclusive, the term learner also reminds us that we are all learners, we learn from each other and we are motivated to do more. Seeing ourselves as part of the learning process encourages the mutual respect that we feel is necessary for all individuals.

Justice
Learner Supporter
I've been working with a2a for a while now and I can confidently say it's a fantastic place to be. The work culture is supportive and positive, and what truly stands out is the open-door policy from the directors and CEO — it makes communication and access so much easier and more human. The learners are a big part of what makes coming to work so fulfilling. Every day brings something new, and it's rewarding to be part of their growth. On top of that, my colleagues have been incredibly welcoming — always willing to guide, teach, and help new team members settle in and thrive.

Parent to learner, Tom
As a parent I have an enormous sense of pride when I visit the coffee shop the Winking Frog where Tom works. Tom has learnt to use the till with verbal prompts and is now able to count out change into the customers hands. Something I never thought I'd see!
