Supported Lodgings Charity Kingston Upon Thames: A Foundation for Independent Living

Helping young people find stability, safety, and a place to call home.

For young adults leaving care or facing homelessness, the step into independence can feel like a leap into the unknown. Without the right support network, simple tasks like managing bills or cooking a meal can become overwhelming obstacles. At 3 Bridge Solution, we believe everyone deserves a safe harbour. As a dedicated provider of housing services, we are committed to bridging the gap between care and independence.

Why Supported Lodgings Matter

Imagine trying to navigate the complexities of adult life without a guide. For many young people aged 16 and over, this is their reality. Supported lodgings offer a vital stepping stone. It isn’t just about having a roof over one’s head; it is about living in a family-style environment where guidance is readily available.

When young people are placed in a supportive home environment, they aren’t just tenants; they are individuals learning to thrive. This model of care provides the emotional stability needed to pursue education, find employment, and build confidence. By choosing a specialist housing provider, you are ensuring that vulnerable individuals receive more than just accommodation—they receive a future.

3 Bridge Solution: Your Trusted Partner in Care

We understand that finding the right support can be daunting. You want assurance that the people you care about are in safe hands. 3 Bridge Solution stands out because our approach is rooted in empathy and practical support. We don’t just provide housing; we provide homes.

Our team is passionate about empowering young people. We work tirelessly to match individuals with hosts who can offer the right level of support. This bespoke approach ensures that every placement has the best chance of success. Whether it is help with budgeting, learning to cook, or simply having someone to talk to after a difficult day, our supported lodgings provide a secure base.

A Safe Environment for Growth

Safety is our top priority. All our lodgings are vetted to the highest standards, ensuring a secure environment where young people can relax and focus on their personal development. We believe that when you remove the anxiety of unstable housing, you unlock potential.

Our hosts are not just landlords; they are mentors. They are ordinary people doing extraordinary things by opening their homes and hearts. Through our rigorous selection process, we ensure that every supported living placement is safe, welcoming, and conducive to personal growth.

Our Core Services: More Than Just a Room

While accommodation is central to what we do, our services extend far beyond bricks and mortar. We offer a comprehensive package of support designed to equip young people with the life skills they need to succeed.

Developing Essential Life Skills

Independence requires a diverse set of skills. Our support workers and hosts guide young people through the essentials of modern living. This includes:

Financial Management: Understanding rent, bills, and budgeting for weekly shopping.
Household Maintenance: Learning how to clean, do laundry, and maintain a tidy living space.
Health and Wellbeing: Encouraging healthy eating, exercise, and registering with local doctors and dentists.
Education and Employment: Assistance with writing CVs, applying for college courses, or preparing for job interviews.

By focusing on these practical skills, we ensure that when a young person is ready to move on from our support services, they are truly ready for independent living.

Emotional and Social Support

Transitioning to adulthood is an emotional journey. Many of the young people we work with have faced significant challenges in their early lives. We provide a listening ear and a supportive shoulder. Our goal is to build resilience and self-esteem, helping individuals to form positive relationships and engage with their community.

We encourage social integration, helping young people to join clubs, participate in local events, and build a network of friends. This holistic approach is why we are a leading choice for those seeking quality housing solutions.

Supported Housing and Lodgings Services in Kingston Upon Thames

Transforming Lives Through Stability

The impact of stable housing cannot be overstated. We have seen firsthand how a secure home can transform a frightened, anxious teenager into a confident, ambitious young adult. It is a transformation that benefits not just the individual, but society as a whole.

When young people are supported, they are less likely to fall into cycles of homelessness, unemployment, or crime. Instead, they become active, contributing members of their communities. By supporting our work, or by choosing us as your provider, you are investing in a brighter future.

We are always looking to expand our network. If you have a spare room and a desire to make a difference, or if you are a local authority looking for reliable placements, we want to hear from you. Discover how you can get involved with our housing initiatives.

Local Focus: Kingston Upon Thames

While our vision is broad, our action is local. We are proud to operate in Kingston Upon Thames, a vibrant and historic borough in southwest London. Known for its ancient market, stunning riverside views, and excellent transport links, Kingston is a fantastic place for young people to start their independent lives.

Kingston offers a wealth of opportunities for education and employment. With Kingston University and Kingston College nearby, young people in our care have access to excellent learning facilities. The bustling town centre provides numerous job opportunities in retail and hospitality, perfect for those taking their first steps on the career ladder.

Furthermore, the sense of community in Kingston is strong. There are numerous parks, leisure centres, and youth clubs where young people can socialise and stay active. We work closely with local services in the borough to ensure our young people can access everything the area has to offer. By integrating our accommodation services within this thriving community, we help young people feel a sense of belonging.

Whether it is a walk along the Thames Path to clear the head, or a trip to the local library to study, Kingston provides a supportive backdrop for the journey to independence.
