Extended services include outreach, employment, respite (short breaks), and holiday opportunities. We aim to deliver resources and opportunities to enable individuals to maximise strengths while helping them to live in a safe, motivating and engaging environment.

We place strong emphasis on learning, development and the rights of individuals, and employ a huge variety of complementary, social and communication interventions to encourage the necessary skills to engage in an independent lifestyle at home, within the general community, and through access to multi-disciplinary team and a wide variety of visiting professionals. Our team provide a baseline 1:1 support level, with each individual allocated their own keyworker, and further support available as needed.
