Welcome to Encompass Support Services Society


Encompass Support Services Society...is a grassroots, non-profit agency that provides a wide range of enriching and essential programs and support services in Langley and Aldergrove. Every day, we endeavor to help build strong, sustainable communities by offering inclusive, accessible services and activities tailored to meet the changing needs of the individuals we serve.
 
Activities and supports are designed to build new skills, foster healthy productive lifestyles and improve access to services within our community.  Services are low barrier, all-inclusive and are free to participants.  Specific programs have been adjusted to accommodate community needs and are focused on enhancing access for all participants. 
 
Encompass Support Services Society programs are well-subscribed and supported throughout the community. Annually, we provide services to over 2220 individuals and families.  With an annual operational budget of 4.8 million dollars, we would not be able to deliver our programs effectively without the collaboration and partnerships with other community organizations.

​History of Encompass
ESS has administered community-based services to the Langley communities since 1995, formerly under the direction of two agencies – Aldergrove Neighbourhood Services Society (ANSS) and Family and Youth Services Society (FAYSS). In 2009, ANS and FAYSS partnered to develop a joint funding proposal to address the growing issue of youth homelessness. Funding was granted and lead to a deep and committed partnership between the agencies. In 2011, both agencies merged and after a thorough and thoughtful period of reflection, the organization’s new name and brand was announced in 2014, to better represent the agency’s vision and widespread geographical presence.
