ABOUT US

Venture-People is an award-winning organisation, formed from our shared ambition to provide high-quality and psychologically informed support.
We provide bespoke, community-based support to individuals with complex needs; including a mental health diagnosis, neurodiversity, or those who may have endured trauma.
The people we support may have spent an extended period in hospital or another setting, therefore we utilise a person-centred approach; empowering individuals to become as independent as possible within their own homes
