Apax Achieves Quality Framework Green Success

At Apax, we are proud to celebrate achieving Overall Green Status in the Quality Assessment Framework (QF) Independent Audit 2026.

As a supported housing social enterprise based in Sydenham, South East London, Apax supports adults who have experienced homelessness, social exclusion and mental health challenges to move towards independent living. This achievement reflects the dedication, professionalism and commitment of our people, as well as the quality and consistency of our supported housing services. It demonstrates our shared commitment to delivering safe, effective, person-centred support and to continuously improving the services we provide.

This success belongs to everyone who contributes to Apax: our colleagues, residents, partners, commissioners and stakeholders, whose contributions help shape and strengthen our work every day.

Achieving Overall Green Status in the Quality Assessment Framework (QF) Independent Audit 2026 is an important milestone for Apax and a strong reflection of the standards we work to maintain across our supported housing services.

The outcome recognises our commitment to delivering high-quality, person-centred support, maintaining safe and effective services, and embedding continuous improvement across the organisation.

Behind this achievement is the everyday work of colleagues across Apax. From supporting residents and maintaining service quality to strengthening operations, partnerships and organisational development, every contribution plays a part in ensuring our services meet the standards expected of us.

To mark this achievement, colleagues from across Apax came together for a celebratory lunch, creating an opportunity to reflect on the collective effort behind this milestone.

The event brought teams together from across the organisation to recognise what has been achieved and, importantly, the people who made it possible. It was an opportunity to strengthen connections, celebrate shared success and acknowledge the dedication shown every day across our services.

While external assessments provide important recognition of quality, the results ultimately reflect the people behind our services. Our Overall Green Status represents the professionalism, compassion, teamwork and shared responsibility shown across Apax, alongside our commitment to achieving positive outcomes for the people we support.

This achievement belongs to everyone who contributes to Apax.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to our Support Teams, whose dedication and compassion make a meaningful difference in residents' lives every day. Their work is central to our mission, helping people build independence, confidence, wellbeing and opportunity.

We also recognise colleagues across every department. Whether supporting residents directly, maintaining quality and compliance, strengthening partnerships, managing operations or contributing to organisational development, every role helps us maintain and improve the quality of our services. It is the same people-first culture that saw Apax recognised as a Great Place to Work.

Our residents remain at the heart of everything we do. Their experiences, feedback and achievements help shape our services and ensure we continue to focus on what matters most to the people we support.

We are equally grateful to our partners, commissioners and stakeholders. Their collaboration, challenge and support contribute to our ability to strengthen services and create lasting, positive impact across the communities we serve.

Achieving Overall Green Status is an important milestone, but it is not the end of our journey. It reinforces our responsibility to keep learning, improving and building on the progress we have made.

As Apax continues to grow and develop, we remain committed to maintaining high standards, investing in our people, strengthening our services, and ensuring residents receive support that is safe, compassionate, effective and person-centred.

We are proud of this achievement and even more proud of the people whose dedication made it possible. Thank you to everyone across Apax for your continued professionalism, commitment and contribution to the quality of our services.

Together, we will continue building on this success, raising standards, supporting one another and improving lives.
