Hoffmann Foundation for Autism works 24 hours per day, seven days per week on every day of the year providing support services to people with autism. We provide a range of services including:

Residential homes for people who need constant care Services for people who want to live more independently but need extra support

Outreach services for people who can live independently and need help to access education and leisure facilities

Pyschology services to help with diagnosis, counselling and group work

Social, educational and creative activities including opportunities to display and sell artworks.

One challenge for HFA is to keep faith with the passion and pioneering spirit of our founder. What motivated her was a desire to create a better life for people with autism.

That is still a challenge for us all.The Hoffmann Foundation focuses at all times on the needs of people with autism, seeking how to improve individual lives and extend a hand to others struggling to cope in a world of limited services and support.

Our approach is from an equality and human rights perspective; that people with autism should enjoy on an equal basis the same rights as everyone else. Hoffmann Foundation for Autism is a dynamic forward-thinking organisation, with skilled staff from a variety of backgrounds, with a range of work and life experiences.

We aim to be responsive to the changing needs of service users and demands of all our stakeholders, including central government, the health service and local authorities. We have continued to develop new services such as our psychology department to ensure that the individual needs of our service users are identified and acted on.

The organisation is currently restructuring itself to be ready for the new challenges and opportunities ahead, working smarter, utilising its financial and staff resources better, investing in service development, and moving us from a two star to a three star organisation in one year.

We intend to put Hoffmann Foundation at the centre of an alliance of stakeholders in the autism community, expanding its role and functions beyond provision of care and transforming HFA into a London-wide care and support provider, and a nationally recognised organisation with a distinctive voice and clear messages on policy and the rights of people with autism.
