A huge thank you to Etchinghill Golf Club. Kate Mills has successfully completed her incredible 60 rounds of golf challenge and raising an amazing £4,500 in support of our Family & Community Advice Services at the Kent Autistic Trust. Every penny will go directly towards helping autistic adults across Kent. The golf club have also been fundraising separately, so we’ll be announcing the grand total very soon – watch this space!

A huge thank you to everyone who took part — your costumes were incredible! Prizes are on their way to the lucky winners!

Martin loved Lordswood Firework Display! A brilliant night full of sparkle and smiles!

Supporting independence is a big part of what we do — and recently Andy showed us just how it's done! With a little help from staff when he needed it, Andy made his own lunch, showing real confidence in the kitchen. Well done, Andy — we’re proud of you! #IndependenceMatters   #SupportedLiving   #LifeSkills   #Teamwork   #ProudMoment

It’s so important that everyone has the opportunity to express their thoughts, feelings, and aspirations. John had a brilliant time catching up with staff over coffee, sharing his thoughts on the support he receives and activities he enjoys at the Day Service, including what he’d love to do in the future! Using a specially adapted questionnaire, John was able to independently express his feelings, wants, and needs with confidence and clarity. He was so proud of himself — and

A colourful new calculator can make all the difference — turning math's practice into something fun! A playful approach from staff has encouraged Megan with enjoyable and motivational learning.

A fantastic time at the Colonel Stephens Railway Museum in Tenterden, learning about all the trains. John even got to sit inside a vintage carriage, which made the experience extra special. The perfect end to a brilliant day.... a relaxing coffee!

Carlton found Harry injured in a garden and quickly got him vet care and medication. He even arranged a spot at a local sanctuary for a safe place to recover.   The best part? Harry bounced back fast and is now safe and sound in his new home! We’re incredibly proud of Carlton for his compassion, care, and devotion. Harry couldn’t have asked for a better friend.

Watching Megan laugh as she splashed and stamped making hand and foot prints with her Aqua Draw was the highlight of the day!
