Hamelin Trust

Who we are

We support autistic people and people with learning disabilities to live their best lives and cultivate compassionate, equitable communities where they can realise their dreams.

Respite
We offer a range of respite services from daytime sessions and holiday breaks to long-term housing for people with profound learning and physical disabilities. Parents, carers and siblings can take time to look after their own welfare, safe in the knowledge that their loved one is receiving high quality care.

Community Support
We know autistic people and people with learning disabilities want to have the same opportunities as everyone else. Our community support services will help you realise your life goals whether that’s to be more independent, find paid work, learn life skills or try different things and make new friends.

Health And Wellbeing
Managing physical and mental health is really important for people to lead a full and meaningful life. Our therapeutic and advisory services help you to improve your mental and physical wellbeing and navigate the health and social care systems.

Our culture and values

How we do things
We are a team of innovators and educators with a common purpose: empowering autistic people and individuals with learning disabilities to lead independent lives. Compassion, bravery, and optimism define us.

We are community
We put people with autism and learning disabilities at front and centre of everything we do. We work together with our people and their families to truly understand their needs and wants, to make a real difference.

We enhance lives
We treat people as individuals so we can empower them to do the things they are passionate about. We create opportunities for growth and foster a culture of innovation and bravery in our communities. This allows everyone to live their best lives, now and in the future.

We think differently
We are passionate, intelligent and not afraid to do things differently. We are not defined by the limitations of systemic care provision and do not accept the status quo. Our sole focus is to create better lives for those we support.
