COMMUNITY

Our dedicated team of support workers can provide you with support to enable you to live your best life, and access opportunities to enhance your quality of life, whilst developing life skills and independence.

We listen to you and what you’re wanting and needing from your support, throughout the week, with a person-centred approach we will ensure that you’re able to access what is important to and for you whether this be in your own home, out in the community, at work or on a volunteering placement.

Max’s Experience

Max lives at home with his parents and each week is supported by us to go to different towns using public transport where possible. Sometimes to do a bit of shopping, sometimes to buy smoothie ingredients to make together at home, but usually ending the day with some research and craft work for his journal.

We will see seven young people moving into their own homes this Autumn. We will be helping them with every aspect of their daily lives whilst helping them to settle in and become part of their local communities.

From Max’s Parents  

• Our team have become an essential part of our daily lives. It’s good to know we can rely on them to care for our son diligently and sensitively, whatever ’emotional weather’ the day brings.
• Max loves the fact that he doesn’t always have to do what mum and dad are doing. He can plan his favourite activities independently with the help of his team.
• It is reassuring for all of us to see the same faces each week. Max feels secure as he has built up a trusting relationship with his team.
• We particularly like the service because they provide excellent training, weekly timetables, holiday and absence cover and have really good communication systems.  We know we can rely on them.

From Max:

• I like G because she is really good fun. We get on well together and we like the same music.
• I like it when we go bowling with my friend D and S takes us to a cafe afterwards.
• T is really good at arty stuff.  She helps me with ideas for my project book.
• I like making smoothies with S. She helps me cut up the fruit. They’re really good.
