About Us

Discovery is here to help you get more from life. A not-for-profit, we provide expert support for autistic people and individuals with learning disabilities from Somerset to Cornwall guided by our values of ambition, courage, integrity, partnership, and respect.

We’re part of Dimensions – one of the UK’s largest not-for-profit care providers with 50 years of experience.

Our vision for Somerset, Cornwall and the rest of the West Country is clear: to give autistic people and those with learning disabilities more control over their support, greater day-to-day choices, access to high-quality housing, and the same opportunities – including work – as everyone else, all delivered by a service that offers exceptional value for money to our commissioners.
