Providing a helping hand when it’s needed most, Floating Support can make all the difference. Our support structure is instrumental in preventing the ‘revolving door syndrome,’ which affects many people who move into unsupported housing.
Our floating support is there for any service user living independently, whether in ECHC managed accommodation or in independent housing. The aim is to help independence to grow, build confidence, a sense of self-worth, and help the service user develop a social network.
As well as helping with practical matters such as housing, we can assist clients in contacting other organisations to help with situations they may find difficult to tackle.
