Real Stories of Transformation
Finding Safety and Hope
"It feels like the Hilton - I cried when I saw it. I like the rules - as a recovering addict I like that it's calm and drugs aren't easily available. My children have visited and I feel safe bringing them. They like it and that's important to me - it feels respectable." - Marcus, former rough sleeper
Real Stories of Transformation
Building Independence with Support
"The fact that I know there is support encourages me to try and do more for myself, as there is a safety net if things go wrong. I love the space of the flat. It's good to have to sign people in and rules about visitors - it makes me feel safe." - David, resident
Real Stories of Transformation
From Crisis to Stability
"I was 19 when I moved into the scheme and settled in fairly easily. I started college to study Social Sciences, and I found that balancing college and living in a flat wasn't easy initially, but I was given lots of support to manage my accommodation, keep up with rent, budgeting, food etc. I applied for 5 good Universities in January and got accepted by all 5. I was delighted." - Former resident
Real Stories of Transformation
Professional Support That Works
"Very well organised and well run. I like the flat checks - it keeps me on my toes, reminds me to keep on top of things. It will already be a habit when I move on - I find it reassuring." - Sam, current resident

What Our Residents Say
"I feel very confident about moving into my own property where I was very unprepared when I first moved in here."
"It felt like a friendly and welcoming place with great staff who follow through - they do exactly what they say they will do."
"I have never met staff so dedicated and caring, I am very thankful for all the support."
"Sleeps better knowing security is there - people can't just walk in. Not all schemes are like that."
"The building is great - not smashed up - feels like a positive environment."
What to Expect
This isn't a quick fix - residents often stay for several months to over a year, giving you time to:
- Build stability and develop daily routines that work
- Access ongoing support for complex challenges like mental health, substance recovery, or past trauma
- Develop practical skills through regular check-ins and guidance
- Prepare thoroughly for your next step, whether that's independent living, college, or employment
You'll have your own space but also clear expectations about visitors and community living that help maintain a safe environment for everyone.
Support is regular but not 24/7 - your named support worker will meet with you weekly and be available during office hours, with additional security coverage at night.
