We run a Supported Lodgings scheme that's registered and inspected by the Care Inspectorate.

Supported lodgings is accommodation with support for young people aged between 16 and 21 years old, who have usually been in the care of the local authority.  The accommodation is offered by individuals or families with a spare room, who work with our Throughcare and Aftercare team.  All Supported lodgings offer a home environment with help and support which provides a stepping stone to living more independently.

The Supported Lodgings scheme recruits and assesses people from the local community who can give a room in their home to a young person.  When approved these people are known as Supported Lodgings Carers.  The Carers help young people gain the skills they need to prepare themselves for living independently.

Careful planning is done before each match, to make sure the placement meets the needs of the young person and the supported Carer.
