Turning Point

Turning Point is a leading social enterprise, designing and delivering health and social care services in the fields of substance use, mental health, learning disability, autism, acquired brain injury, sexual health, homelessness, healthy lifestyles, and employment.

Over the last 60 years, the organisation has grown and today it works in over 270 locations across England, empowering those it supports to improve their health and wellbeing, and bring about positive change in their lives.

Most of Turning Point’s services are commissioned by the public sector and the majority of its revenue comes from NHS and local authority contracts.
Rightsteps, Turning Point’s Business-to-Business brand, works with employers to support their workforce directly, as well as providing more specialist therapeutic interventions for Employee Assistance Providers.

As a social enterprise, Turning Point invests any surplus it makes back into the business, for the benefit of the people it supports.
