Active 8 commenced operations in May 2006 from our original base on Edge Lane, Liverpool. The company was awarded a contract to provide support and accommodation for unaccompanied asylum seeking children, on behalf of Liverpool Social Services. One year later over 50 young people were using our services.
In February 2008, we moved to our new office premises opposite the Picton Clock, one of Liverpool’s well-known landmarks. The larger, new office enabled us to improve our service capacity and diversity as we expanded into many other areas including: family contact and shorts breaks services for disabled children and their families. More recently we also expanded to our Wirral office where we have established a busy Family Contact Centre.
Today, we are an established organisation providing tailored services which include: support and accommodation for unaccompanied asylum seeking children and young homeless people; child contact services; short-breaks support for children with disabilities; family support; parent assessments and much more.
We been described as “Raising the Bar in Service Provision” and our high standards have made us one of the most reputable support organisations around.
