About the people and their home

Our support team work alongside them to encourage their independence and sense of value within the local community, promoting their wellbeing and achieving their goals. This includes shopping trips to local stores, pubs, cafes and restaurants. They choose activities that are meaningful to them and the team provide person-centred support.
