Who we are
Project PHOENIX was started in 2025 by the founder, Roman Anderton. With an idea about wanting to set up a safe supportive service for the neurodiverse and LGBTQ+ communities in Cambridgeshire and West Suffolk. Using the knowledge of the area and the services which already exist and he was a member of, he soon found a ‘gap in the market’ and a business plan to open something which would fill this chasm in support specifically for the adults in these communities as services would often have an upper age limit, leaving young adults alone with no where to go.
