Welcome to Hansel
Through providing a range of services and activities Hansel assists people with additional support needs, and their families, to make the most of life each and every day. Our approach is to deliver the right support; for an individual to feel empowered, to find their voice, and experience equality, choice, dignity and respect.
Freedom to be heard. Freedom of choice. Freedom to live!

We have a range of housing support options including single and shared tenancies located in towns and villages in North, South and East Ayrshire. We also offer small group living registered adult residential care home support as a choice for individuals who may have particular needs or preferences and who wish to live in South Ayrshire.

Our respite services offer a change from the daily routine whether that be for a few hours a week or an exciting short-break to a new destination. With our customers firmly in charge all our respite services are personalised and designed to match their choice of activities.

For most of us work plays an important part in our lives so through our Hansel 3e operations (employment, education and enterprise) we provide a range of opportunities for people with additional support needs to prepare for and be supported in employment, and for anyone to contribute through meaningful and rewarding volunteer activities. Although our Hansel 3e social enterprise focus is on employability outcomes for individuals, support is also provided to Hansel’s wider care services team and customers.

Hansel Foundation and Hansel Alliance work hand in hand to identify our strategic aims and set out what our fundraising activities will be to help us achieve them. In order to deliver new projects and services, Hansel Foundation engages in fundraising activity both from our valued supporters within our community and also from grant making bodies, including charitable trust funders. We build long lasting relationships with our supporters and are indebted to everyone who chooses to support Hansel, helping us to personalise care and support opportunities to give each person we assist the freedom to live.
