Services we provide

We’re specialists in delivering mental health, learning disabilities, homelessness and young people services.

Learning disabilities

Many people with learning disabilities aspire to live in their own home. With the right support, this aspiration can become a reality.

We are specialists in supporting individuals with high level learning disabilities, complex needs and behaviour that challenge.

We work closely with each individual, their family and carers to identify and work towards the goals that are important to them – build independent living skills, manage and maintain their homes and become part of their local communities.

We support people to develop independent living skills.

Homelessness and complex needs

We deliver support to disadvantaged people in our communities, many who have complex needs. This includes domestic abuse services.

People coming to us may have mental health, substance misuse or physical health needs. Many will have experienced complex trauma and abuse whilst others may have histories of rough sleeping, relationship breakdown or offending.

Wherever people may have come from and whatever their history, we work with each person as an individual, supporting them to address their needs, take control and make forwards with their lives.

Mental health

We know that people with mental health needs can and do recover – this belief is crucial to how we deliver supported housing and care.

We know that people with mental health needs can and do recover – and that people with mental health needs, with the right support, can and do live fulfilling lives in the community. These beliefs are central to how we deliver support, care and housing services.

We design and deliver integrated, recovery-focused, person-centred services that we deliver in partnership with the NHS. We work with people at all stages of the mental health pathway and our focus is on supporting people to build skills, live independently and stay well living in the community wherever possible.

Young people and care leavers

We support young people and care leavers to develop the skills and confidence they need to live independently.

They might have had problems at home, come directly from care or be escaping abuse, violence or exploitation. Others may have mental health needs, drug or alcohol issues or  have offended in the past.

Whatever their background, we know that with the right support, they can go on to achieve great things.
