What is Supported Lodgings?
Supported Lodgings is a fantastic next step for young people who are nearly ready to live fully independently but need a helping hand first. When someone offers a young person a room, it provides a supportive home environment in which they can learn and grow.
Leaving care or a service can be difficult and disorientating – we believe when our young people know what it feels like to belong and be valued, they have the stability to thrive.
