What We Offer
Abrigo Homes provides a high standard of accommodation, care and support for young people aged 16–25. Our aim is to help each young person move safely and confidently from care into managing their own home and adult life.
We focus on practical skills, emotional wellbeing and positive futures, offering a package of support that is tailored to individual needs.
Personalised Care Planning and Support
Every young person has their own support plan, based on a clear assessment of their needs, strengths, risks and goals. Plans are developed with the young person and, where appropriate, with social workers, families and other professionals. We use care plans and risk assessments to make sure support is well-structured, safe and focused on progress. Regular reviews ensure the plan stays relevant as the young person grows in confidence and independence.

Supported Accommodation
for 16–25 Year Olds
We offer 24/7 staffed supported accommodation in a small, homely setting. Our current provision supports up to two young people at a time, creating a calm, family-style environment where they can feel safe, settled and listened to. Staff are on hand around the clock to provide reassurance, practical help and consistent guidance. The atmosphere is nurturing and therapeutic rather than institutional, helping young people to relax, build trust and feel at home.
Developing Independent Living Skills
A key part of what we offer is support to build everyday life skills. We work alongside young people as they learn to:
1
24/7 Supported Accommodation
We provide safe, 24/7 staffed supported housing for young people aged 16–25. Our small, shared homes offer a therapeutic and nurturing environment where residents can feel secure, listened to and supported as they prepare for independent living.
2
Life Skills, Wellbeing & Independence
Young people are supported to build everyday life skills that promote wellbeing, resilience, confidence and independence. This includes personal routines, self-care and structured cooking sessions, with staff working alongside them rather than doing things for them.
3
Education, Training & NEET Support
We help young people access and sustain education, training and employment. This includes support with finding courses or jobs, applications and interview preparation, as well as extra guidance for those who are NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training) to re‑engage at a realistic pace.
4
Care Planning & Risk Assessments
Each young person has an appropriate care plan and support plan based on their individual needs, strengths and goals. We complete and regularly review risk assessments to make sure support is safe, structured and responsive as their circumstances change.
5
Health & Sexual Health Support
We support young people to look after their physical health and access the services they need. This includes help with registering with doctors, attending appointments and making informed choices around sexual health, relationships and personal safety.
6
Substance Misuse Support
Where substance misuse is a concern, we offer non‑judgemental, practical support. Staff work alongside specialist services where needed, focusing on safety, harm reduction and helping young people move towards healthier patterns of behaviour.
7
Finances & Budgeting
We provide clear guidance with managing money, from basic budgeting to understanding bills, rent and benefits. Young people are supported to plan their spending, avoid debt and build good financial habits that will help them maintain their own tenancy in future.
8
Therapeutic, Trauma-informed approach
Our therapeutic, trauma‑informed approach recognises the impact of past experiences, builds safety and trust, and helps young people heal while developing resilience and positive futures.
9
Family Contact & Positive Relationships
Where it is safe and appropriate, we support young people to maintain or rebuild contact with family members and other important people in their lives. We also encourage positive social connections and community involvement to reduce isolation and build supportive networks.
