Welcome to Vincent House.
Supported accommodation in private rooms for 16 (plus 1 emergency bed) single people 16 – 65 years of age, with shared bathroom and toilet facilities.
Residents are actively involved in the day-to-day running of the project, including menu planning and food preparation.
We provide structure and encourage residents to move forward and reach the ultimate goal of securing a tenancy with a local housing provider.
On average residents are with us for 6 – 9 months and each resident has a key worker to help them create an individual support plan and identify their main goals.
Staffed 24/7, Vincent House works closely with statutory agencies to make sure residents get the support they need to move forward.
We have recently had a group trip out camping for 3 nights, which included a Go Ape assault course and learning archery skills. We also keep the residents busy with other activities, such as gardening, fishing and cooking.
We have also recently had a resident learning about upholstering.
We provide:
- Individual advice and guidance on a wide range of issues
- Assistance with benefits and money management
- Help to develop our residents’ independent living skills
- Resettlement expertise to enable residents to move on into a tenancy agreement
- Signposting to other specialist agencies and services
- In-house training and volunteering opportunities.
