East Midlands
We support over 70 people with learning disabilities and autism throughout the East Midlands. Our aim is to help the people we support to live the life they want and we believe that people with learning disabilities should be respected, have the same opportunities in life as everyone else and make their own choices and decisions.
Type of services we offer
We currently provide supported living services to around 30 people with a learning difficulty across our region. We tailor our supported living services to meet the needs of the people we are supporting. It can range from two to 60 hours per week.
We also have group living services in Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Rutland, Coventry and Warwickshire and services where we support young people with a learning difficulty through transition.
Our aims
As a region, we are always looking at ways to improve the service we offer to the people we support. We are working to help the people we support to live the life they want by:
- assisting the people we support with developing their own 'person centred' plan, which focuses on their needs and aspirations;
- enabling the people we support to have information on employment and employment opportunities;
- enabling the people we support to have the opportunity to develop relationships with people in the community; (read about the Derby disco)
- recruiting and retaining good staff who share our values;
- working in partnership with friends and family to develop the most effective support package for all the people we support.
