About Us

At Discovery, we're all about empowering autistic people and those with learning disabilities to live their best lives across Somerset and Cornwall.
We're proud to be part of Dimensions, one of the UK’s leading not-for-profit organisations that's been championing great support for over 40 years. Our values—ambition, courage, integrity, partnership, and respect—aren’t just words. They’re the heartbeat of everything we do.
Whether it’s helping someone land their dream job, supporting independent living, or simply making everyday choices a little easier, we’re here for it. We believe that meaningful employment can be life-changing, providing financial independence, confidence, and a sense of purpose. That’s why we work closely with individuals to develop their skills, navigate the job market, and secure opportunities that truly fit their strengths and aspirations.
But our support doesn’t stop there—once in the workplace, we continue to stand by them, ensuring they have the right adjustments, guidance, and encouragement to succeed. Whether it's workplace coaching, advocacy, or fostering inclusive environments, we champion a world where everyone can thrive in their careers.
At Discovery, people are always at the centre of the story. We’re on a mission to make sure every person we support has more control, more choice, and more of the good stuff in life—like safe, comfy homes, fulfilling jobs, and real opportunities to shine.
Together, we're building a future where everyone is valued, included, and supported to thrive, both in life and in the workplace.
