We do loads of worthwhile things and can't wait to work with you!
Our History
I'm Sumayya, and I set this company up in 2019 with my son, Ashley (we're both in the picture). Ash was an aspiring Social Worker at the time and had great ideas for how we could work together and help others. We had a farm and had a therapy horse available, which was pretty awesome! Sadly, Ash had some health challenges, and he died in November 2020.
The loss of a child is something that changes you forever. I am still blessed with a daughter, and she inspires me to keep going. So through Ash's Place, I practice ethical and kind Independent Social Work in order to help people. I also have some fantastic Associates to work with me when required. New for 2026 is that I've started studying for a Professional Doctorate qualification.
Thank you
I'm grateful to my past colleagues in the statutory settings I've worked in before, and I am pleased to be making new connections with people keen to work with me as an Independent Social Worker, Trainer or Consultant.
We are finalists for the Best Social Impact Award!
