"Improving lives and communities through professional training, mentoring and support services."
We empower individuals by equipping them with the skills and confidence needed to enter the workplace while championing support for those who require assistance to live independently. Together, we build resilient, inclusive communities that foster personal growth and promote social inclusion.
At Action for People CIC, we achieve our vision by providing comprehensive, accessible learning and support services tailored to the diverse needs of each community. We focus on vocational training to equip individuals with the skills and confidence needed for employment while offering specialised support for those who require assistance to live independently.
Our flagship initiative, Personal Assistants at Home, is one of the fastest-growing support networks for independent Personal Assistants across England and Wales — trusted by local authorities, commissioners, and thousands of families seeking safe, flexible, person-centred support.
We combine modern verification, safeguarding assurance, digital ID technology, wellbeing support, and continuous training to create a national framework that lifts the PA workforce, protects the public, and expands choice for people using Direct Payments.
For independent PAs, Personal Assistants at Home provides something rare:
a professional home that values autonomy while offering all the tools, benefits, and protections usually associated with large organisations. Our members gain access to essential training, wellbeing services, lone-worker support, insurance options, recognition, and a growing range of national perks.
For communities, this means safer care.
For PAs, this means a stronger career.
For partners — including benefits and perk providers — it means aligning with a mission-led organisation delivering genuine social impact at scale.
Personal Assistants at Home is more than a project.
It’s a movement, a workforce, and a trusted national network — powered by Action for People CIC and built around one goal:
helping people live independently, confidently, and well.
