About Us

We provide supported living and outreach around Dipton and County Durham for adults with learning disabilities and people living with mental health conditions.

Supported living means the house or flat belongs to the person rather than to us. We come in to help with whatever makes living there possible, and the aim is always that somebody runs their own life as far as they are able to. In practice that means the unglamorous things that make independence real: managing a tenancy, dealing with letters and bills, handling money, shopping and cooking, keeping appointments, getting to work, college or wherever a person wants to spend their time, and having staff alongside when something feels beyond facing alone.

Outreach can be lighter than that, a few hours a week with somebody who mainly manages but needs a hand at particular points. It works best when we are honest about what is actually needed rather than filling hours for the sake of it.

For people whose mental health is unsettled, a worker who is steady, turns up when they said they would and knows the person well enough to notice when things are slipping often does more good than extra hours would. So we keep teams as settled as we can.

Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. Please get in touch if you would like to know more.
