We have furnished rooms in shared houses across Nottingham, Ashfield and Gedling. When you live with us you get a safe place to call home, weekly support from our team, and real opportunities to build the life you want.
Our homes are 2 to 4 bedroom shared houses. You get your own furnished bedroom and share the kitchen, bathroom and living space with a small number of housemates.
Safe and looked after: if something breaks, you report it and we fix it
A small household, not a big hostel
Your own space with your own door, and people around when you need them
Everyone who lives with us gets the same core support. How you use it is up to you, and we'll help you set goals that mean something to you.
Once a week you sit down with our team. We look at how things are going, what you've done and what's next. You set the goals and we help you stick to them.
Step-by-step workbooks you can go through at your own pace, with help whenever you want it.
We're partnered with local driving schools. A driving licence opens up jobs and independence, and we'll help you take the first steps towards getting yours.
Getting fit is one of the best ways to build routine and confidence. We have links with local gyms and personal trainers to help you get started.
