This diverse mix of skills helps us stay strong and innovative, making sure we’re providing the best support to the children and families we work with.

They believe, like we all do, that every child should have the chance to grow, learn, and succeed in their own way. Thanks to their leadership, AUA is able to keep expanding its impact, offering personalised support that changes lives.
