Supported Living
At Anchor Support Group, we provide high-quality Supported Living accommodation for young people and adults who are ready to take their next steps towards independence.
Our homes are designed to be safe, nurturing, and empowering — giving residents a sense of belonging while helping them develop the skills and confidence to live independently.
​
We support individuals with a wide range of needs, including care leavers, young people with SEND or autism, and those requiring emotional, behavioural, or mental health support.

Supported Living for Young People (Ages 16–18)
​
​
A Home That Feels Safe and Supportive
Each of our homes accommodates only two to three residents, creating a family-style atmosphere where young people receive individual attention and consistency of care.
Our experienced staff provide 24-hour supervision, ensuring safety, emotional support, and practical guidance are always available.
We foster an environment where young people can make mistakes safely, learn from them, and grow with confidence.
​
Our Support Includes:
-
24-hour staffing and daily check-ins to maintain safety, structure, and emotional support.
-
Personalised key-work sessions focused on mental health, self-esteem, and personal development.
-
Life-skills coaching, including budgeting, cooking, cleaning, self-care, and tenancy management.
-
Education, training, and employment planning, helping young people enrol in college, apprenticeships, or part-time work.
-
Access to community activities that build social skills, resilience, and a sense of belonging.
-
Close collaboration with social workers, leaving-care teams, schools, and local authorities to ensure coordinated, consistent support.
-
Health and wellbeing oversight, including access to GPs, therapy, and mental health professionals when required.
​
Empowering Independence Through Trust and Consistency
Every young person is treated as an individual with potential, not a placement.
Our staff take time to build trusting relationships, using trauma-informed approaches that recognise past experiences and promote healing.
We work alongside each resident to develop a Personal Independence Plan, setting realistic goals for housing, education, health, and emotional wellbeing. Progress is reviewed regularly in partnership with their social worker or personal adviser.
​
Preparing for Adulthood
By the time a young person leaves our service, they will have gained not only essential life skills but also the confidence, stability, and self-belief to sustain independence.
Many of our residents transition successfully into their own tenancies, supported lodgings, or further education with our continued guidance and aftercare check-ins.
Our team — made up of social workers, mental health nurses, teachers, and experienced key workers — ensures that every young person’s journey is planned with diligence, delivered with care, and focused on lasting success.
Supported Living for Adults (18+)
Our 18+ supported living homes are designed for adults who require ongoing care, structure, or low-level support to live safely and independently within the community.
This includes individuals with learning disabilities, autism, mental-health needs, or a history of care involvement.
​
Our support includes:
-
Tailored, outcome-focused support plans
-
Daily living assistance and tenancy sustainment
-
Support with appointments, medication, and budgeting
-
Access to education, volunteering, or employment opportunities
-
Ongoing emotional and wellbeing support
​
We work with local authorities, mental-health services, and families to ensure a joined-up approach that promotes independence while maintaining safety and dignity.
