What we offer

We will provide a place where you can feel safe, with people you can rely on for help and understanding while you learn to become more independent and prepare for work.   

We will help you develop the skills, knowledge and understanding that will take you into a job, knowing what you need to do to keep your job.  And if you do lose your job, we will help you find another. 

You will be helped to become more confident about the future, feel better about yourself by discovering what you can do, and become more comfortable in talking and working with others. 

If you need access to other specialist support in order to manage daily living, we will help ensure that you have this.
