Good times shared together with an afternoon of bowling, followed by a delicious lunch in town. Such a nice way to spend the day.

On April 23rd, 2001, at just 23 years old, Amanda began her journey as a Team Leader at Beaver Lane. At the time, she had no idea this newly built home would become such a cornerstone of her life for a quarter of a century! Amanda said ‘When you start a new job, you rarely consider how long you might stay, and I certainly never imagined I’d still be here 25 years later. I look back on my time with KAT that has spanned throughout all my major life milestones and a significant

Choosing flowers together for a hanging basket, and enjoying the sunshine along the way Sometimes it’s the simple outings that mean the most.

Everyone at Jemmett Road recently enjoyed a lovely day out together in Ramsgate. Lunch, laughter and blue skies.

Egg hunting in the woods and a delicious roast dinner to follow; a Wayfield Easter weekend to remember.

Recently we headed out to enjoy the start of spring with a visit to Battersea Park. Peaceful walks around the gardens and fountains, a visit to the inspiring London Peace Pagoda, a calm and uplifting day out in London for us all.

A lovely day spent meeting the goats, enjoying a picnic and cup of tea — with one very posh goat in a bow tie making us all smile.

We are deeply saddened by the loss of a valued member of our autistic women’s community, Gillian Harrison. Emilymay Miles; Autism Information Officer said 'Gillian was a wonderful advocate for autistic people, and especially for autistic women. She was the first openly autistic woman I met in one of the peer groups we held when I first joined KAT. Her story stayed with me. When Gillian asked a simple question—why not create a group specifically for autistic women—and shared h

What a great visit from Cllr Diane Morton and Cllr Mark Mulvihill from KCC to our Woodville specialist day resource centre in Canterbury, who showed a real passion for specialist day services and appreciated the big difference and impact it makes to autistic people with complex needs and their families. People we support, parent and staff joined the visit to talk about the real difference this bespoke service makes!

We were delighted to invite our wonderful mums to KAT for a special Mother’s Day afternoon tea and cake. It was our way of saying thank you for all the love, support and care they give — not just to us, but to the amazing young people we support every day. Everyone enjoyed making decorations and spending time together and seeing how much love the people we support have for their mums was truly heartwarming. It was a pleasure to give our mums a well deserved afternoon of being

Such a lovely outing to the Strand — calm sea views and fresh air, a gentle moment to pause, unwind, and enjoy the simple things.

Art, sunshine and a Trafalgar Square picnic!

We’re celebrating a brilliant milestone for James! He’s been steadily building his confidence with PECS (a picture‑based way of communicating), and last week he used a picture to let staff know exactly what he wanted. Such a huge step in his communication journey! James has worked so hard alongside the team, and we couldn’t be prouder of him.
