Supporting You

We promote community participation and social inclusion to build independence and confidence when accessing the community. We empower you to engage with your housemates and participate in group activities. We currently enjoy a variety of community-based activities together. These include visiting the zoo, going bowling, and taking walks in the forest. At home, we enjoy activities like gardening and trampolining.

Our team uses person-centred support, tailoring their approach to your individual needs. Our housemates have mixed communication methods, using Makaton, Board Maker, and photo symbols. With our support, you’re empowered to express yourself in a way that’s comfortable for you.

Facilities

Our home has five bedrooms, all featuring an en-suite shower room or wet room. We also have a separate shared bathroom available. We have spacious communal areas, including a kitchen-diner and two lounges.

Our garden surrounds the entire home and incorporates a large trampoline. Our outdoor patio area is equipped with a picnic bench where lunch and dinner are often enjoyed in the summer months!
