B&Q Blackpool

We provide 24hr support to vulnerable adults aged over 18years of age. We work with them on a 1:1 basis to address their immediate needs and also identify opportunities for them to reach their potential. We continue to support them once in their own tenancies for a period of 6 months. We promote a community feel within the Project and encourage our service users to be involved in the day to day meal preparation, gardening, painting and general day to day running of the project. This develops their independent living skills whilst also making the place more homely and encouraging ownership and service user involvement.
