There is a connection between housing problems and poor mental health, with each potentially influencing the other. This is a short-term service funded by Wandsworth Council that supports people to develop the skills needed to live independently. Our support staff visit at least once a month. We’re the only floating support service provider in London Borough of Wandsworth.

What we can help service users with:

  • Applying, maximising and/or addressing issues with welfare benefits
  • Maintaining, sustaining and/or managing tenancy and preventing homelessness
  • Developing independence, social inclusion, and an improved quality of life
  • Developing independent living skills
  • Improving social networks, relationship building, engagement in community and leisure activities
  • Accessing employment and training services
  • Signposting to other community organisations

 

My outlook has changed. I am involved in more activities in the community and I have a better outlook on life and society.
