Why Choose 3 Bridge Solution for Supported Accommodation?

We understand that every young person’s journey is unique. That’s why our tailored support services begin with a comprehensive assessment to identify individual needs, goals, and aspirations. Support plans are regularly reviewed and adapted as young people progress and develop new skills.

Skilled and Compassionate Staff

Our team consists of experienced professionals who are passionate about making a positive difference in young people’s lives. All staff receive ongoing training in safeguarding, mental health awareness, trauma-informed practice, and youth development to ensure the highest quality of care and support.

Young people in our accommodation benefit from structured programmes designed to build essential skills for independent living. From cooking and budgeting to maintaining a home and managing personal health, our life skills training prepares young adults for successful independence.

Education and Employment Support

We believe that education and meaningful employment are key foundations for long-term stability. Our team provides dedicated support with:

Mental Health and Wellbeing Focus

Many young people entering supported accommodation have experienced challenges that impact their emotional wellbeing. Our holistic support approach includes access to counselling, mental health services, and wellbeing activities to help young people build resilience and positive coping strategies.

Our Supported Accommodation Models

3 Bridge Solution offers various accommodation models to suit different needs and stages of independence:

Shared Housing with On-site Support

For young people who benefit from regular guidance, our shared houses provide a supportive community environment with staff present at scheduled times. This model helps develop social skills alongside practical independence.

Host Families

Our host family programme places young people with carefully vetted local families who provide a home environment and mentoring. This setting offers natural opportunities to learn life skills and build healthy relationships.

Semi-Independent Flats

For those ready for more independence, our semi-independent flats offer private accommodation with floating support. Young people manage their own space while still having access to regular support sessions.

Transition Support

As young people prepare to move to fully independent living, our transition support package ensures they have the skills, confidence, and resources needed for this significant step, with follow-up support available as needed.

The Journey Through Our Supported Accommodation

1. Referral and Assessment

The journey begins with a referral, followed by a thorough assessment to understand the young person’s needs, history, and aspirations. This helps us determine the most appropriate accommodation and support package.

2. Settling In

Upon moving in, young people receive a comprehensive introduction to their new home and local area. Each person is matched with a dedicated support worker who helps them settle in and begin building a positive relationship.

3. Support Planning

Together with their support worker, young people develop a personalised plan focusing on their goals across various life domains, including education, employment, health, and independent living skills.

4. Skills Development

Through one-to-one support, group sessions, and practical experiences, young people progressively build the skills needed for independence, celebrating achievements along the way.

5. Community Integration

We support young people to connect with local facilities, groups, and opportunities, helping them build networks and become active community members.

6. Transition Planning

As independence grows, we work with young people to plan their next steps, whether that’s moving to less supported accommodation or taking the leap to fully independent living.

7. Moving On Support

Our aftercare programme ensures young people continue to receive appropriate guidance as they transition to independence, with the option to access advice and support when needed.

Success Stories

“When I came to 3 Bridge Solution at 17, I barely knew how to cook pasta. Two years later, I’m living in my own flat, working full-time, and feeling confident about my future. The support I received changed my life.” – Jamie, former resident

“After leaving care, I felt lost and scared about living on my own. The team at 3 Bridge Solution didn’t just give me a place to stay – they helped me believe in myself and my abilities. I’m now at university studying social work because I want to help others like they helped me.” – Emma, former resident
