Life skills, every week. Independence by design.
Recovery happens through small, repeated, ordinary things. A shared breakfast. A finished painting. A successful trip to the GP. Our weekly programme is built around that idea.
What a typical week looks like.
Every property runs to a weekly programme shaped by our Activities Coordinator Natasha and informed by Psychology and Nutrition. People we support choose what they want to join.
Breakfast Group
Shared, unhurried breakfasts that anchor the day. For many people we support, sitting down to eat with other people is itself part of the recovery.
Baking Group
Cheese scones, gingerbread, cakes for birthdays, and even doggie cakes for Buddy. Cooking together is one of the simplest ways we rebuild confidence and skills for independent living.
Art Group
A creative space where the people we support work on personal projects and seasonal artwork at their own pace. Finishing a piece is its own kind of healing.
Nutrition & Cooking
Sessions led by our in-house Nutritionist Abenaya on building healthy meals, understanding how food affects mood, and learning to cook for yourself.
Movies & Board Games
Quieter group activities for the people we support who find evenings difficult. Connection without pressure.
Diverse Empowerment Project
Peer led sessions designed and facilitated by the people we support themselves, from CV writing to recreation. Voice and choice built into the weekly programme.
More from our week.
Gardening, trips out, music, celebrations and visits from our therapy dog.
Independence by design.
A good placement is one a person we support is ready to leave. Every part of the service is built toward that goal.
En-suite rooms with kitchenettes
Everyone we support has their own en-suite bedroom and a kitchenette in the room. Shared kitchen and lounge to be social when they choose. Rosewood House in Hounslow is a step-down option, with built in kitchens in self contained flats.
A weekly life skills programme
Budgeting, CV writing, travel training, benefits, employment routes, cooking, and nutrition.
Step down as the default direction
High to medium to low support, then move-on. The next conversation, where possible, is always about stepping down. The keyworker stays the same as the level changes.
Our move-on service is open
Hounslow House offers ten self-contained studio flats for men and women getting ready for their own tenancy, with our team close by. Visit Hounslow House.
