Who We Support
Supporting the Young People Who Need Us Most
Our services are designed to meet the diverse and complex needs of vulnerable young people at critical points in their lives.
Preparing for Independence
Young people who are ready to develop their life skills, confidence, and resilience in preparation for managing their own tenancy and daily responsibilities.
Vulnerable Young People
Young people facing additional challenges such as a history of abuse, exploitation, or instability who require a safe environment and consistent, therapeutic support.
Complex Needs
Young people with complex or multiple needs, including mental health difficulties, substance misuse, or a history of offending, requiring intensive and specialist support.
Unaccompanied Asylum-Seeking Children
Unaccompanied asylum-seeking children (UASC) who require specialist, culturally sensitive support in line with their individual circumstances and immigration status.
Young People Requiring Safe Accommodation
Young people in need of immediate, safe, and appropriate accommodation as part of an emergency or planned placement, with support tailored to their assessed needs.
Our Placements
A Flexible Range of Placement Options
We offer a continuum of placement types designed to match the individual needs of each young person, from structured shared living to intensive one-to-one support.
Shared Living
Our 24/7 staffed shared houses provide a supportive community environment for multiple young people. Residents receive a minimum of five hours' professional support per week, with a step-down approach designed to build skills and prepare for independent living over time.

Standalone placements offer young people their own self-contained flat with floating support. These placements are designed for those progressing towards greater independence, with support gradually reduced as confidence and capability grow.
Learn More →Individual Supported Living
Our intensive 24/7 bespoke supported living placements are designed for highly complex or vulnerable young people who require around-the-clock, one-to-one support and a carefully managed, personalised care environment.

We provide specialist supported accommodation for unaccompanied asylum-seeking children (UASC), delivering culturally sensitive, individualised support that aligns with local authority requirements and the young person's unique circumstances and background.
