About the accommodation:

Leigh House consists of three fully furnished single bedrooms and two communal bathrooms, a shared kitchen and lounge.

Residents are expected to cook for themselves although staff are available for guidance.  Staff visit Leigh House during the week – and a support worker is available 24 hours a day via Waverley House to deal with any emergencies.

Residents can stay at Leigh House for up to two years although we hope they will have gained the skills to move on before this.

We don’t just provide somewhere safe to live.  We aim to enable young people to take control of their own lives and move towards independent living.  This is achieved through weekly one-to-one sessions with support workers and less formal activities.  You can find out more about our approach in Beyond Accommodation.
