We are a small-scale provider based on the edge of the New Forest, Southampton specialising in Supported Living for adults with learning disabilities, challenging behaviour, mental health and other conditions including Prader Willi Syndrome. We are registered and inspected by CQC, and have received a Good rating across all areas.

We offer our clients a hybrid city / rural setting, meaning they have access to excellent transport and amenities, as well as the opportunity for outdoor escapism. Our company minibus means that we can take advantage of the New Forest National Park on our doorstep. Our Registered Manager - Alison Meek joined us in 2020, and with our support team provides person centred care to our existing clients. We care deeply about the wellbeing of our clients, and our staff team promote our clients to have as much independence as possible and develop their life skills. Some of the skills that our clients have acquired include woodwork, gardening, allotment skills, animal husbandry, cooking and decorating. Many of these skills have been acquired at our Skills Centre. This is a purpose built location in Ower which falls within the New Forest National Park. It is designed to be a safe, social setting where our clients can care for the animals, enjoy our therapy dog, partake in sports in the large field and learn new skills. We currently have goats, alpacas, and sheep on site.

Our centre also boasts a workshop, indoor day room, allotment and soon to be wildflower area. Around our accommodation in Southampton city centre, we have activities such as cinema, bowling, mini golf, go karting, football matches, football pitch hire, shopping, museums, libraries, theme parks, equestrian centres, zoos, activity parks and more. There are activities to cater to all individuals. Our ethos is continuous improvement and we carry this across all areas of our business.
