Supported Lodgings Hosts Needed in South Gloucestershire
We are looking for people across South Gloucestershire, who have a spare bedroom, to become host families for 16-25 year olds who are studying or working and who need somewhere to stay before moving into independent living.
What is Supported Lodgings?
Supported Lodgings is a fantastic next step for young people who are nearly ready to live fully independently but need a helping hand first. When someone offers a young person a room, it provides a supportive home environment in which they can learn and grow.
Leaving care or a service can be difficult and disorientating – we believe when our young people know what it feels like to belong and be valued, they have the stability to thrive. As a host family, you would play a huge part in supporting a young person to feel valued by providing them with a bedroom for 6-24 months and helping them to feel a part of your household whilst they gain the skills they need to move into their own accomodation.
