About Support for Living
Support for Living was formed in 2007, through the merger of Ealing Consortium and Harrow Consortium for Special Needs. In April 2010 we merged with Southside Partnership to form a new group - Certitude Support. The Support for Living name will continue for the learning disability services we provide.
Support for Living supports over 550 people. The support is offered by around 400 staff. Our turnover is about £15m. The new group, formed with Southside, supports over 1500 people, employs about 650 staff and has a turnover of about £25m.
As Ealing Consortium, Support for Living started life in Ealing, 20 years ago. It later expanded to work in Hillingdon, Hounslow, Harrow and Brent - 5 London Boroughs in all. Southside works in 8 Boroughs and together we provide services across almost half of London.
We are a not for profit organisation, or non-lucrative enterprise – which means that we exist to add value for our customers, not, as with a commercial business, to make profits for shareholders. We aim to be financially strong, but any surplus we make can only be used to the long-term benefit of the people who use our services.
