Our services

Our services

We support adults with mental health needs across Hammersmith & Fulham, Hounslow, Hillingdon and Ealing. Seven in ten of the people we support live with schizophrenia or psychosis. Each of our services is built for a particular group of people, and all of them sit on one pathway. As people need less support, they can move on without starting again with strangers.

Leading the change

A progressive, in-house model, built on relationships.

Many supported living providers buy in psychology, nutrition and activities at extra cost. We employ our own specialists, so everyone we support gets the whole team from their first day, and commissioners don't pay extra. We think this should have been normal years ago.

  • ×Psychology, nutrition and activities bought in at extra cost
  • ×Bolt-on charges and separate invoices for psychology sessions
  • ×Waiting lists before specialist help
  • ✓We employ our own specialists, so everyone we support gets the whole team from their first day
  • ✓Included in one weekly rate, with no bolt-on charges
  • ✓Psychology in the home, not on a waiting list

Step through the journey. Each stage builds on the last, with the same team beside you all the way.

Stage 1 of 4

24-hour high support

Adults with severe and enduring mental health needs who need staff on hand day and night, including people stepping down from hospital.

What support looks like

Staff on site 24 hours, a keyworker with weekly keyworking sessions towards agreed goals, daily support with everyday living, and our in-house psychology, nutrition and activities team.

What the person works on

Feeling safe and settled, daily routines, medication, and a risk management plan that works.

Ready for the next step when

Overnight support is no longer needed, and the person is keen to do more for themselves.

  • Specialists included. Our own psychology, nutrition and activities team is part of one weekly rate, with no bolt-on charges.

  • Fast, straight answers. Our median time from referral to assessment is 3 days. If a placement isn't right, we tell you, and we explain why.
  • Digital and transparent. Our records are digital, and we share service-level reports with placing authorities.
