Who we are...
A Bespoke Small Support Service - Treating People as Ordinary Citizens
We are the product of the Small Supports, Bespoke Provision project in Leeds. The first of its kind in Leeds, bringing tailored support closer to people who are on the margins of society. The overall aim of our service is to give people the resources and support to be an ordinary citizen in their own community. The people who we support are either hospitalized, in an institution or jail, or at risk of admission at the time of their referral to us. Our service is by referral only, for individuals with Mental Health and/or Learning Disability diagnoses. These people often have 'hefty reputations', and are stuck in a cycle of placement breakdowns. With this in mind, we have created a service that aims to meet these needs in a bespoke way and to stick by them like glue to create stability in their lives which they have never had before.
