Adepta and Dimensions are now working together (01/08/09)

On 1st August 2008 Adepta joined Dimensions to form an organisation employing 3000 staff and supporting 2000 people with learning difficulties. David Wolverson, Chief Exectutive of Dimensions said,

"Dimensions and Adepta are an excellent match – we both have a clear commitment to providing truly person-centred services to the people we support. We both have a lot to offer each other. Despite the cliche, I really think we will be stronger together.

We have chosen to start on this journey together because we know that we have to reinvent ourselves to thrive in the emerging world of individual budgets. What do I mean by this? I mean that we will have to go about our work in a very different way, using a person's budget creatively and flexibly. Our purpose will still be the same – to help people with learning difficulties to live the life they want. However, the journey towards achieving real outcomes for the people we support will be very different – unique, in fact, to each individual person.

We believe that, as a larger organisation, we can share strengths and resources. This will help us along our journey towards personalisation. It will equip us with the ability to offer truly
personalised support to the people we support throughout their life journey, helping them to live the life they want."
