The Association for Real Change is an umbrella organisation supporting providers of support services for people with a learning disability, autism or both.

The Association for Real Change exists to improve the quality of life for people who have a learning disability by supporting anyone who is involved in the planning or delivery of support and services.

Our work may also benefit people who have other support needs. We are committed to sharing our learning and experience across all sectors that may benefit.

Our mission is to improve the quality of life of people with a learning disability, autism and related support needs, and we support social care providers of all kinds to make this goal a reality.

We are proud to be the only membership organisation with such diversity in our membership base, yet working together as one community, representing providers who specifically support people with learning disability and / or autism.

We foster a real sense of collaboration and 'community' where our members can come together to share best practice, and face the challenges of the sector as one.
