Supported Lodgings Charity Redbridge: Building Futures Together
Transforming Lives Through Community Partnerships
As a dedicated supported lodgings charity serving Redbridge, 3 Bridge Solution connects vulnerable young people with caring households to create stable foundations for independent living. Our innovative approach combines the warmth of family-style accommodation with professional support services, creating lasting positive change for young people facing housing challenges.
The 3 Bridge Solution Difference
A Charity with Purpose and Passion
Unlike standard accommodation providers, our charitable mission drives everything we do. Every penny we receive is reinvested into improving our services, expanding our reach, and enhancing the support we provide to both young people and the hosts who open their homes.
Holistic Support Framework
Our comprehensive support model addresses every aspect of a young person’s development—from practical life skills and emotional wellbeing to education and employment readiness. This holistic approach ensures that young people don’t just have somewhere to stay, but gain the tools they need to build sustainable, independent futures.
Community-Embedded Solutions
As a community-focused charity, we believe that the most effective support happens within the context of local connections. Our supported lodgings programme harnesses the power of community to create natural support networks that remain accessible to young people long after they’ve moved on to independence.
How Our Supported Lodgings Programme Works
Connecting Homes and Young People
Our carefully managed lodgings scheme matches young people aged 16-25 with approved households who have a spare room and the desire to make a difference. These placements provide a safe, supportive environment where young people can develop confidence and skills while working towards their goals.
Support for Both Parties
We recognise that successful placements require comprehensive support for both young people and their hosts. Our experienced team provides:
- Regular check-ins and supervision
- 24/7 emergency assistance
- Ongoing training and development
- Peer support opportunities
- Mediation when needed
- Practical advice and guidance
Tailored Support Plans
No two young people are the same, which is why our personalised approach begins with a thorough assessment of individual needs, aspirations, and circumstances. These insights inform a bespoke support plan that evolves as the young person progresses.
The Impact of Our Charity Work
The statistics tell a powerful story: young people in supported lodgings are more likely to remain in education, find employment, and develop sustainable independent living skills compared to those in other forms of accommodation. Our outcomes consistently show improved wellbeing, stronger social networks, and higher rates of successful transitions to independence.
“The support from 3 Bridge Solution changed everything for me. Living with my host family gave me the stability I needed to finish college and find work. Now I’ve got my own flat and a future I’m excited about.” — Former Lodgings Recipient

Why Redbridge Needs Supported Lodgings
Addressing Local Housing Challenges
Redbridge, like many London boroughs, faces significant housing pressures that disproportionately affect young people. Rising rental costs, limited social housing, and competitive private rental markets create barriers that can lead to instability and homelessness for vulnerable youth.
Building Community Resilience
Our charity’s approach strengthens the Redbridge community by creating meaningful connections between residents and young people in need. These relationships often extend beyond the formal placement period, creating lasting support networks that enhance community cohesion.
The Redbridge Community Context
Situated in northeast London, Redbridge offers an ideal environment for young people transitioning to independence:
Diverse Opportunities
The borough’s excellent transport links, educational institutions, and diverse employment landscape provide multiple pathways for young people to pursue their ambitions while remaining connected to their support networks.
Cultural Richness
Redbridge’s multicultural community creates an inclusive atmosphere where young people from all backgrounds can feel welcome and valued, experiencing diverse perspectives that broaden their horizons.
Support Services
The established network of community services in Redbridge complements our work, allowing us to connect young people with specialised support for specific needs such as mental health, education, and employment training.
