Who are Achieve together?
Our organisation has over 25 years of expertise, and our ethos has always been to have people we support and their families at the heart of our organisation and at the centre of everything we do. Together we are focused on providing a strong foundation to offer the best possible support.
Today, our team of expert practitioners is proud to deliver high-quality support to over 2,300 people in almost 420 local care homes and services across England and Wales. We endeavour to be a continuing leader in best practice across the country and ensure that people we support have every opportunity to fulfill their potential. Our goal is to drive quality across the sector and lead by example.
We have a strong expertise in supporting people with particularly complex needs, including autism spectrum conditions, behaviours which may challenge, mental health conditions, profound and multiple learning disabilities, D/deaf and hearing loss and associated complex health needs. We ensure that the support we provide is tailored to the person’s needs and we look forward to working with you and your teams over the coming months. Together, we can continue to exceed expectations and make a real difference to the lives of people we support.
How Achieve together contributes to environmental sustainability
At Achieve together, we recognise the part we play in caring for the planet just as we do for people we support. We understand that climate change is not only a complex global issue but also one that directly impacts the health and wellbeing of people we support, our team members, and our communities. Acknowledging this, we are dedicated to making a meaningful, measurable contribution to reducing our environmental impact and inspiring action among our teams, people we support, and communities we’re part of.
In 2021, our board of directors set an ambitious target to reach Net Zero emissions by 2045, five years ahead of the UK government’s 2050 goal. In 2023/2024, we took the following steps to reduce our environmental impacts and associated carbon footprint:
- Continued to procure 100% certified renewable energy, for locations where we manage utilities
- Began procuring 100% certified renewable gas, for locations where we manage utilities
- Diverted waste from landfill through sustainable waste management programmes
- Contributed to low-carbon energy production through waste to energy schemes
- Invested in renewable technology for newly developed homes
- Created a group of Environmental Champions, comprised of people we support to champion co-production for sustainability.
The above actions translate to the following positive impacts on the environment:
- 2,218 tCO2e avoided through procuring renewable electricity, equivalent to the amount of carbon sequestered by 2,590 acres of forest in one year
- 3,474 tCO2e avoided through procuring certified renewable gas, equal to the emissions generated from 5,888 one-way flights from London to New York for one person
- 555,086 kWh of energy produced through waste to energy programmes, enough to power 206 average UK households with electricity for a year
- Diverted over 1,100 tonnes of waste away from landfill, equivalent to the weight of 162 African elephants
- Avoided 29 tCO2e by installing ten air source heat pumps, equivalent to 74,169 miles driven by an average gasoline-powered passenger vehicle.
