New Service Opens

26/05/2010

Constructing a bed in one of the new flatsWe are pleased to announce that we have now re opened our property on Shirland Road. This latest development in partnership with Westminster City Council and Paddington Churches Housing Association comprises of four 1 bed flats each with their own kitchen, lounge, bedroom and bathroom.

The property provides accommodation for people with learning disabilities wanting independence of their own, but with the reassurance of a 24 hour support team, based at our other Shirland Road property for emergencies and to support each person's individual support package.

 

The aim of the service is to provide stable and supportive housing which enables people to gain the skills and confidence necessary to live as independently as possible. 

The new tenants are very excited about their new home. One tenant said "My flat is gorgeous, sweet and clean. It’s very good. I’m very happy here".

This service is another step in developing our properties as part of our modernisation plan which we are doing in order to better meet current and future housing need and provide more choice for people with learning disabilities.
