Company activities and impact

Autism Life Centres (ALC) provides a bespoke, quality specialist day service. We blend two powerful, evidence-based models PBS and DIR to create something truly special - the ALC approach. At ALC, our support is deeply rooted in a person-centred approach that honours each individual’s preferences, rights, and developmental needs. We avoid one-size-fits-all programs and instead customise our assistance to promote independence, emotional health, and active engagement in everyday life. ALC is commissioned by Local Authorities and Health Boards to provide day services to 25 adults with complex autism. Our service Users all require either one-to-one or two-to-one support. ALC currently employs 54 staff. The staff ratio is high to ensure that we can provide this complex support. ALC has developed the “Time to Grow Horticultural Project” which is providing skills development and work experience opportunities for service users at the allotment in Treherbert. Autism Life Centres (ALC) provides opportunities to learn functional skills, increase independence and provide work experience, where appropriate. Two of our current service users volunteer at Cambrian Lakeside shop, supported by their keyworker staff. In 2024 ALC set up weekend clubs for children with autism through its “No Limits” programme. The pilot proved to be very successful. We started with 8 children being supported by this project and now have 22 children attending Saturday clubs. In 2024 ALC received grant funding from Children in Need to provide and expand this service. There is now a waiting list for accessing the Clubs. ALC is officially recognised as a Domiciliary care provider by Care Inspector for Wales, CIW. ALC develops personalised and specialised outreach services tailored to individuals with complex needs, in the mornings and evenings, outside of traditional day centre hours. We are currently providing a specialist trauma graded exposure package of support to one individual, agreed with the local health board. We employ a Speech and Language Therapist to work with our individuals and we offer specialist Speech and Language Therapy sessions for children and adults with autism within the community. RCT have calculated ALC’s current social value at £1,113,465 per year.

Consultation with stakeholders

ALC’s stakeholders include commissioners and Social Services. Youth has commissioned ALC day services for 17 individuals with autism during this period. Other stakeholder commissioners include Swansea Bay, Cardiff council, Cardiff CHC and Cwm Taf HB. ALC is monitored by RCT social services on a quarterly basis. ALC has secured an asset transfer from the RCT council which is also a stakeholder. ALC has continued to hire a second building Treherbert Boys and Girls Club and the Trustees are stakeholders. Parents of young people with autism and complex needs are encouraged to visit ALC and frequently request that their son / daughter be considered for placement at ALC. ALC has a large allotment at Church Fields, Treherbert. The allotment society, other allotment plot holders and the local community are also stakeholders. A member of staff attends Allotment meetings regularly. Grant funders are stakeholders, during this period these have included grants from RCT, Interlink, The Welsh Government, Monmouth, National Lottery, Children in Need, Be Active Wales, Youth Led Grant, Vol Factory and Community Facilities Award. Other stakeholders include those providing financial and other donations such as Asda, and many local shops, Rhondda Rotary Club, the local darts team, and other individuals and organisations that have raised funds for ALC, including attending our Christmas and Summer events and buying raffle tickets. Current service users and their families are stakeholders and their regular feedback is encouraged. ALC welcomes all feedback from the people and organisations it supports and works with. ALC understands that this information helps shape the services provided and promotes best practice. Annual feedback questionnaires are sent to service users and their families in an accessible format.
