HOW WE WORK
"Our programme offers a pathway to each individual which helps them move forward"
We support listen and encourage our Service Users to make changes in their life. Substance misuse presents complex and chaotic lifestyles and the individuals often mistrust statutory services. Programmes of this nature provide a vital pathway to independence. It is well documented that addressing physical, mental health conditions alongside homelessness and abstinence is a massive step that requires a huge amount of support from not only the staff at the Limes but were necessary, sourced intervention from outside agencies in a collaborative approach. The transition to independent living is the final step in a long extremely challenging process for the individual. Moving from treatment units into a new home with a secured tenancy, with all that it involves is never easy or straightforward.
Putting newly learned skills into practice, lacking friends, feeling isolated, is a serious barrier to success. Most of our Service Users have little or no family support, no experience of the practical stability that’s needed to maintain a housing tenancy plus the practical issues that go along with that. The Limes housing look to change that in collaboration with our service users. Our programme offers a pathway to each individual which helps them move forward in their lives in order to meet their goals and aspirations. We work very closely with a number of partners and organisations who also work within in this area of expertise. These include The Sanctuary Trust, Renaissance, Early Break, H.A.R.T, and Rochdale MIND. We shall also ensure that the programme is promoted through them so that we can reach as many people as possible
