Apax

At Apax, we are a values-driven, non-profit social enterprise dedicated to providing exceptional support and premium supported housing services. We work with vulnerable adults who have experienced social exclusion, mental health challenges, or homelessness, helping them navigate their unique journeys toward independent living and social cohesion.

Who We Are

We are a multi-award-winning organisation committed to rethinking the dynamics of mental health services and reshaping the landscape of supported housing. We believe that new, creative approaches are necessary to address the rapid rise in mental health needs. By embracing digitalisation and maintaining an agile ecosystem, we strive to adapt quickly to evolving demands, thereby relieving pressure on the broader care system and making a lasting, positive difference in the lives of our residents.

What We Do

We deliver integrated support and housing solutions designed to foster independence and wellbeing:

• Supported Housing: We provide pristine, high-quality accommodation that serves as a safe, calm environment for residents to begin rebuilding their lives.
• Mental Health Support: We offer robust support systems to help residents manage conditions, including anxiety, schizophrenia, and other mental health challenges, using both traditional and innovative therapeutic tools.
• Independent Living Pathways: We focus heavily on the "move-on" process, equipping residents with essential life skills such as budgeting, cooking, routine building, and personal responsibility to prepare them for their own tenancies.
• Holistic Programming: We run diverse activities and courses—ranging from art and women's groups to cooking and wellness sessions—to encourage socialisation, confidence, and personal development.

Our Approach & Values

• Person-Centred Nurturing: We place the individual at the heart of our support, ensuring that every resident feels valued, heard, and supported at their own pace.
• Innovation & Digitalisation: We utilise creative solutions, such as VR wellness sessions, to help residents confront challenges and build resilience in modern ways.
• Empowering Independence: Our core goal is to guide residents toward independence. We provide the tools, encouragement, and stability necessary for individuals to transition successfully into permanent, independent accommodation.
• Commitment to Excellence: As a multi-award-winning organisation, we continuously strive to improve our services, enhance the lives of those we support, and advance society through impactful, compassionate care.

Industry Role

We operate as a Social Enterprise and Supported Housing Provider. Our role is to bridge the gap between crisis and independence. By providing stable housing combined with intensive, tailored support, we act as a vital community pathway that helps vulnerable individuals move from homelessness or high-acuity mental health needs to self-sufficiency and stable, long-term living.
