Ascension Social Care In Our Community

• At Ascension Social Care

  At Ascension Social Care, we are deeply committed to helping our young people feel part of something bigger than themselves—a safe, vibrant, and inclusive community. Our supported accommodation is located in the heart of Edgware, a diverse and well-connected area that provides a rich environment for growth and integration.

  Edgware is one of London’s major centres, offering a perfect balance between suburban tranquility and urban accessibility. With local shops, gyms, libraries, recreational centres, and Edgware Community Hospital nearby, our young people have everything they need within reach to develop life skills and gain independence.

  We actively support our young people in engaging with the wider community through:

  • Cultural Integration and Belonging
    Our residents are encouraged to participate in community events, use local facilities, and form positive relationships with others. We celebrate diversity through cultural events and “Diversity Days,” where young people can learn about and embrace a variety of backgrounds, beliefs, and traditions.

  • Religious and Linguistic Support
    We value and accommodate every young person’s cultural, linguistic, and religious identity. Whether it’s arranging interpreters, helping young people attend places of worship, or ensuring culturally appropriate meals, we ensure every individual feels respected and supported.

  • Inclusion and Equality
    Our staff are trained in equality and diversity and work to promote an inclusive atmosphere. We actively challenge discrimination through education, awareness, and targeted key-working sessions. Our commitment extends to supporting LGBTQ+ youth, those with additional needs, and individuals from all walks of life.

  • Personal Development through Community Engagement
    From volunteering and group activities to educational outings, we provide opportunities for our young people to explore the community, develop confidence, and understand their role within society. Through this, they gain a deeper sense of belonging and self-worth.

  • Access to Support Networks
    We engage with local churches, youth groups, and cultural associations so that young people can connect with others who share similar backgrounds and experiences. These connections help reinforce identity and provide additional emotional and cultural support.

  We believe that thriving in the community is not just about fitting in—it's about finding your voice, celebrating who you are, and contributing meaningfully to the world around you. At Ascension Social Care, we are proud to walk this journey with every young person in our care.
