Ansar Projects was formed by a local Bury couple in 2010 to provide support to a young man coming out of education and needing the right support on his journey into adulthood.
Ansar Projects soon grew to have a number of small residential care homes and provided some short breaks.
In 2016, Ansar Projects became part of Thera Group, adopting its Vision and embedding it into our practice and support to people with a learning disability. This changed our support from providing registered care to supported living. People moved out of the properties they were living in which were renovated and modernised and then they moved back in as tenants.
Highgrove was purchased and was originally planned to be used as a location for people to live in while their homes were being modernised. In 2017, the renovations were completed, and Highgrove became the location of our short breaks so we could continue this type of support for people who had previously received it with us.
Ansar Projects have continued to support new people to find a home of their own. We still continue to support the young man who was the first person to be supported by Ansar. He lives in his own home with his dedicated staff team.
We have also further developed our Community Support so that people can learn socialisation skills alongside their education and support their journey into adulthood.
