Our Vision
To provide a range of high-quality services to children and young people, enabling them to learn, develop and reach their full potential. To be involved in the design and delivery of services and ensure services meets their needs.
Our Ethos
We firmly believe that every child or young person should be given all of the care and support they require in order to live a happy and stable life. This care and support must be able to respond appropriately to their changing needs yet have consistency and continuity that builds trusting relationships to enable strong foundations to be established.
Our Values
Working with children, young people and professionals to deliver quality services that meet the children’s and young people’s needs. Ensuring everyone has the opportunity to make a positive contribution to his or her community.
Our Journey
Alternative Approach was established in October 2018.
Employees were welcomed in to the business and we opened our very first Supported Accommodation services. Our first group of Young People were moved in and settled.
Soon enough the company grew, the team grew and we opened Moore Park in February 2019.
The staff team tripled to ensure our young people received the best possible experience.
We continued to build momentum between 2020 and 2021 we opened up 3 new services across Merseyside.
During this time Alternative Approach built strong partnerships with local authorities, local businesses and the community.
In December 2020 we reached a new milestone and launched our Family Support service! We opened up our office space on Rice Lane.
In June 2022 we opened our latest group living provision.
Due to expansion, we decided to also expand our admin team this year.
We began expanding our family support services across a network of local authorities. We opened our Family contact centre in Liverpool.
By mid year 2023 we had recruited a strong team of professionals working with our staff teams and management. We had recruited a Training director, Business development manager and a well being mentor to work directly with our staff and Young People.
With the growing demand across our family support services, we were proud to announce the opening of our new family support centre in Ellesmere Port, this was a much needed centre and we could not wait to welcome families into our safe space. We have also added a fleet of cars to facilitate even more transportation for our families and young people.
2023 was a big year for us. It was busy, though full of amazing outcomes across the services. We received the keys for yet another supported accommodation service – Ashton House!
It was topped off with the amazing news that we had successfully registered our supported accommodation service with Ofsted and achieved certification.
This year we were over the moon to open our 2 new luxury Supported Accommodation homes, Chester Court and Kings Court. One of which is located in the lovely town of Southport.
Family Support has grown regionally and we are delighted to offer our services with even more individuals that need it.
We cannot wait to continue our growth into 2025…
