Commitment is at the core of everything we do at Consensus. It’s about showing up, day in and day out, for the people we support and for each other. It’s about sticking to our values and consistently striving to make a difference. That’s why Commitment is one of our newly defined company values, capturing the unwavering dedication we bring to both our colleagues and the individuals we support.
Commitment to us means more than just fulfilling a duty. It’s a promise – one that says we will always go the extra mile, look for solutions where others might see obstacles, and stay focused on making every moment matter.
Commitment to the People We Support
Our commitment also shines through in the way we support people in achieving their dreams and living the life they deserve. One powerful example is David, who earlier this year moved into his forever home after spending over 40 years in a hospital-based setting. David had always dreamt big but never thought those dreams would come true. Since moving, his life has transformed. He’s been to see his favourite football club, Burnley, and now enjoys daily outings for coffee, karaoke nights, and even learning to cook with his Ninja processor. David’s favourite phrase? “I’m now living my best life.”
These are the moments that remind us what true commitment looks like – working tirelessly to ensure that those we support can lead lives filled with the joy, purpose, and fulfilment they deserve.
Commitment to our Colleagues
Commitment at Consensus isn’t just about the people we support but about how we support each other as colleagues too. That’s why we created the Making Moments Matter Awards, a recognition of the incredible dedication shown across the organisation.
We’re proud to have already celebrated our first-ever Every Moment Awards, which honours colleagues who go above and beyond, ensuring that every interaction counts – with 25 winners, all nominated by their peers for their exceptional efforts in making Consensus a Great Place to Work® and a wonderful place to live for those we support.
Here are just a few of the nominations:
🏆 “She makes every moment matter, always coming up with new ideas to bring a smile to the people we support.”
🏆 “Edmond is kind, always here for anyone to listen and give advice.”
🏆 “Nico is one of those people that will help anyone with anything.”
🏆 “She is an absolute star member of the team and consistently shows up for people.”
These stories highlight the commitment we have to each other, creating a culture of appreciation and support.

When we see commitment it in action, we’re inspired to do the same. Yes, it’s one of our values. But that’s because it’s a driving force behind everything we do. From the commitment of helping someone transition into a new life, to the commitment of creating a working environment that allows people to flourish – commitment keeps us moving forward together and for all the right reasons.
We are committed to staying true to our purpose and continuously working to ensuring people with complex needs get to lead the lives they deserve. It’s what ensures that every day, every person and every moment truly matter at Consensus.
