We specialise in providing a combination of 24-hour shared and stand–alone placements for children and young people. We believe that each young person is unique and deserves the opportunity to see their future without limitations and deserve the right to be supported and encouraged to explore their potential regardless of perceived hurdles and challenges Our main aim is to provide safe and high-quality accommodation in which our young people can develop and enhance their independent skills. Through our housing, care, and support services we enable our young people facing a wide variety of challenging circumstances to lead more resilient and independent lives. Our supported living service typically consists of 16-22-hour staffed accommodation for young people aged 16-18. These provisions cater to young people with mild and medium complex levels of needs and challenging behaviour. This is a holistic accommodation-based service which aims to prevent and/or reduce negative behaviours in young people. The nature of semi-independent living also helps to equip young people with the life skills necessary to live independently. Our homes provide an environment in which young people can be encouraged to develop physically, psychologically, intellectually and socially.
