Supported Accomodation
Supported Accommodation
In December 2024 we attained a lease on our own supported accommodation project and
have created a home for people to begin a journey of recovery from rough sleeping which is warm and welcoming.
This is a 17 bedroom project which offers a place to live plus support to people who have experienced rough sleeping and often have multiple, complex needs.
The residents from our previous accommodation played a huge part in getting the property ready to move into – helping us to clean, paint, garden and offering a raft of ideas and suggestions as to how they wanted their new home to look and feel!
Thank You!
We would like to say a heartfelt thank you to the local businesses who supported our move - QEC Electrical, PLP fire services, and Gaslec
Our trained staff and volunteers are on site 12 hours a day to offer holistic, person centred support to the residents, many of whom have multiple and complex needs.

​
We recognise many of our residents have experienced trauma, so since 2023 we have commissioned the services of Reset-21 to provide a weekly on-site counselling service to our residents - for a small charity we have big ideas! This has proved to be a huge success, which 90% of our residents engage with on a regular basis, and has led to a decrease in mental health crises, plus a reduction in substance misuse and offending.
Reset-21 also deliver Trauma informed Training to our team to help us widen our knowledge and empathy (thus enabling us to provide the best support we can), plus provide our staff/volunteers with reflective practise.
​
We also have regular addiction recovery groups, art/craft sessions, cooking lessons, games nights, film nights, and a whole host of other activities.
