ASDAN is a UK-based charity committed to unlocking the talents and abilities of learners with diverse needs. Our mission is to engage them in meaningful learning, empowering them to pursue further education, training, and work, ultimately enabling them to take control of their lives and thrive.

With a longstanding history of working alongside mainstream and special schools, further education colleges, alternative learning environments, local authorities and community organisations across the UK and globally, we specialise in developing personal, social and employability skills. We offer accredited qualifications and curriculum programmes, with a deep commitment to quality and equality of opportunity for young people at Entry levels 1 to 3 and Levels 1 to 3.
