Living your best independent life
Supported Living
Our Supported Living homes are often an individual’s first step to becoming truly independent. We provide a safe space for people to develop and grow in a friendly environment. Dotted around the City we have a great choice of accommodation to suit different needs.
Accessing your world
Community Enabling
Community Enabling is at the heart of what we do. We can provide support in your home, or based from from your home, to access the community and different activities across Exeter.
A Day Service with a difference
The activity hub
We have created a great space in the City centre to provide relevant and fun group-based activities. Our emphasis is to teach and promote independent living skills in an environment where you can have a say in what you learn, and a place you can share your thoughts and ideas with your peers.
