About Us

We support over 350 young adults across Surrey to live their best life.

halow equips young adults with learning disabilities and autism to live a life of purpose.

Every year we support over 350 young adults in Surrey. Our work also indirectly benefits over 750 family members and friends who care for a person with a learning disability or autism.

We help people improve their lives for good. This includes helping them learn new skills, become more independent and live the life they always wanted.

And why do we do this? It’s simple. We believe that learning disabilities and autism should never stop someone from achieving their dreams.

If you live in Surrey and have a learning disability or autism, get in touch with us today.

About Us
History

It all began with five young people.

It all began with five young people.Harriet, Amber, Laura, Oliver and William.

In 2006, the parents of these children began to meet up. Like many parents of young people with learning disabilities and autism, they realised that once their children reached adulthood, the support and resources they relied on became limited.                                                       Determined to change that, they shared a vision of a better future and formed halow.

Our impact

We work hard to ensure that every project and service we deliver has a meaningful, positive impact, not just for the young adults we support, but for their families, friends, and the wider community.                                                          

To measure this, we collect both tangible and personal data. It’s not just about how many of our supported adults move into independent living or the quantity of young adults who find work. While these are important it is also about the everyday wins: growing confidence, building lasting friendships and feeling a true sense of belonging.

“halow has been incredibly kind and accommodating, growing alongside the young people it has supported from the beginning.”
