Who is Progress?

We are an established provider of specialist services for children and young adults from 0-25, who have disabilities and specialist needs, including profound and multiple learning difficulties, severe learning difficulties, physical disability, sensory impairment, complex health care needs, acquired brain injury, and Autism. This encompasses a fostering agency, residential homes, supported living, a range of short break solutions, home and community support, preparation for independence and much more. As a values-led, family-owned business, we are not prepared to compromise on the quality and safety of our services, which are delivered following our owner’s ethos; ‘if it is not good enough for your own family, it is not good enough for our customers’..

We pride ourselves on enabling a more ordinary life to be experienced through extra-ordinary service delivery, with the people we support being the heart of everything we do. Everyone deserves a childhood and to move on into independence – this takes innovation every day as one size does not fit all where people are concerned!
