Our aim

Our aim is to help young people gain the skills needed to live independently, by developing confidence, self-respect, and the ambition to achieve their goals.

Together we focus on the young person’s strengths to help them identify what they want to help them build a better future. We’re an integral stepping-stone to a young person’s independence, helping their families, too.

What can I expect?

We will meet with you, probably at the house, so you can see where you may live. You may bring a family member or the person who referred you to this meeting. Together, we’ll get to know each other, talk about what you want, and how we can help. After this, we’ll evaluate whether it will be helpful for you to live in one of our houses.

If you stay with us, we’ll choose a move in date.  You’ll then meet your allocated worker. Once you’ve settled in, we’ll start making plans for your future. You’ll join our life-skills group and we can help you get a job, look for training, and/or support you in education.

Friendly staff are here 24/7, so you’ll always have someone to talk to. We run groups and have lots of activities you can get involved with.

Referrals can be made by:

  • Dorset Council
  • Youth Offending Service
  • Social Care and Health

Our life skills cover:

  • Maintaining a Tenancy/Rent Arrears/Landlord Issues
  • Independent Living Skills
  • Claiming Benefits
  • Accessing Education/Employment
  • Mental Health
  • Healthy/Positive Relationships
  • Substance Misuse

Social isolation: Finding a purpose again

Social prescribing, or forms of it, date back to the 80s, but it wasn't widely practised nationwide. In recent years though the NHS has embraced it at a national level. But what is 'Social Prescribing'? Simply put, it's help that doesn't come in a bottle or in the...
