Aspirations Care

02/09/2026

At Aspirations we invest in our staff through continued professional development. E has recently completed her NVQ and had this to say:

‘The course provided a valuable opportunity to consolidate and strengthen my existing knowledge. It helped me recognise that I can often be overly critical of my own abilities, and it encouraged me to view my skills with greater confidence and perspective. This shift in mindset has already had a positive impact on my professional development, enabling me to approach my work with improved self-assurance and clarity.

L’s support played a significant role in this. Throughout the course, she was consistently encouraging, approachable, and constructive in her feedback. Her guidance created an environment where I felt comfortable asking questions, reflecting honestly, and stretching my capabilities.

As a result, I am better equipped to deliver high quality support in my role. The course not only reinforced my technical understanding but also enhanced my confidence, which in turn strengthens the quality and consistency of the support I am able to provide.’

Congratulations on your NVQ!

Moving into your first home, from your family home, is a huge step towards your journey into adulthood, not just for those we support, but for their families too.

Recently, 3 young people we have been working alongside for many months, made the leap into their new homes in Cheshire.

Families have been central to all stages of these moves; this includes setting up their loved one’s new homes.

A huge thank you to the Business Development Team members Arron Townsend, Hannah Brown and Angela Crisp, who have all gone over and above to ensure the young people could move in, supporting the Operational Team.

Simon who lives in one of our supported living schemes in Stoke on Trent has been developing the communal garden.

He has already placed borders, soil and plants and is looking to develop further with a grant from his housing provider and the Aspirations ECO project. He has some great ideas such as a water feature, water butt and summer house.

I can’t wait to visit again later in August to see how the garden is coming along.

Well done Simon great work!

We are proud of our team…

Congratulations to the Aspirations Team in Gloucester on their recent audit outcome. The team were involved in a full external audit, based on the CQC Key Questions and Quality Statements, aligned with the Single Assessment Framework. Following the assessment, they were rated good in all key questions, except care where the team achieved Outstanding. The auditors said the following:

"People were treated with kindness and compassion, with staff respecting their privacy and dignity. Staff recognised people as individuals and supported them in making choices about their care"

July is Disability Pride Month and an important moment for disabled people to come together as a community, share experiences and start conversations. It’s a celebration of the creativity, resilience, and achievements of disabled people and a time for embracing disability identity and the contributions made by disabled people positively. Plus challenging the negative attitudes that hold disabled people back.

We celebrate today by sharing The Disability Pride Flag – which represents the experiences and needs within the disabled community:
Red - Physical impairments and conditions.
Gold – Neurodiversity.
White - Non-visible and undiagnosed impairments and conditions.
Blue - Emotional and psychiatric conditions, including mental health, anxiety and depression.
Green - Hearing impaired, vision impaired, audio processing and all other sensory impairments and conditions.
Charcoal - represents people who have experienced ableism, and highlights protesting against this.

July is ‘Good Care Month’ and celebrates the dedicated professionals working across the social care sector. The initiative highlights the vital contributions of carers – both paid and unpaid – who provide support to vulnerable individuals across communities. More than just recognition, Good Care Month also aims to raise the profile of care as a rewarding and essential career path. So, today we wanted to say a HUGE THANK YOU to all our staff for your hard work, dedication and compassion in supporting the people we support and your contribution to care and our community!

Justin would like to share some of the photos that were taken on his recent trip to Butlins in Bognor Regis. He spent 4 nights there with two of his support workers, they all had lots of fun…. including watching numerous shows, swimming, tech putt, and Digi darts. The walk into the local town was windy but the rain held off!! Which pleased us all 😊
