Compass is one of the UK’s largest independent fostering agencies and children’s residential care providers, operating across much of England and Wales.
August Equity brought together several well-established, independent fostering agencies to form Compass Community, uniting a wealth of fostering experience and specialist local knowledge under one brand and one management team of social workers. Under August Equity’s ownership, Compass became the third largest independent fostering agency in the UK with more than 1,000 fostering placements and 12 residential homes. August Equity realised its investment in 2017 via an exit to Graphite Capital.
