OUR SERVICES

We provide support based on each individual’s and families/carers needs.

• Brokerage and Fee for Service – we provide private arrangements for regular or ad hoc services.

 

COMMUNITY CONNECTEDNESS

As a local service of over 25 years we have developed extensive community contacts and networks which we are able to use to link Clients into. People are supported to become truly connected to their community rather just accessing the community.
