Who are Supporting People services for?
Supporting People help a wide variety of vulnerable adults who
need assistance to either develop their skills and confidence so
they can live independently without support or to allow them to
continue living independently with the provision of ongoing
support. Examples include:
- Someone who has had a previous history of tenancy loss
- Someone who has been previously homeless or sleeping rough
- Someone who has been in prison or is at risk of offending may
benefit from a support service
- People with mental health needs or a learning disability
- Women with experience of domestic violence
- Young people at risk may need support to develop
independence
- People with drug or alcohol problems
- People with a sensory or physical disability
- Teenage parents
- Older people
- Refugees
All the above may need support arising from their different
circumstances or experiences.
