Empowering Young Lives: Why We Need Supported Lodgings Hosts Redhill

Make a Real Difference in Your Community Today

It takes a village to raise a child, but sometimes it just takes one caring person to change a young adult’s future. At 3 Bridge Solution, we believe that everyone deserves a safe roof over their head and a supportive hand to guide them towards independence. If you have been searching for information on Supported Lodgings Hosts Redhill, you have arrived at the right place to start a journey that transforms lives—including your own.

We are actively looking for compassionate individuals and families who can offer a spare room and a bit of mentorship to young people aged 16 to 21. These are young adults who are leaving care or facing homelessness and simply need a stable environment to learn the ropes of adult life.

What Does Being a Host Actually Mean?

Becoming a host isn’t about being a parent or a social worker. It is about being a human bridge to independence. When you choose to become a host with 3 Bridge Solution, you are providing more than just accommodation; you are offering stability.

Many of the young people we support have had disrupted childhoods. They haven’t had the chance to learn simple life skills that many of us take for granted, like budgeting for a weekly shop, cooking a nutritious meal, or ensuring bills are paid on time. As a host, you provide a spare bedroom and, crucially, the patience to help them learn these skills in a safe environment.

You aren’t left to do this alone. We pride ourselves on being the leading supportive housing provider in the area because we support our hosts just as much as we support our young people.

Why Choose 3 Bridge Solution?

There are several agencies out there, but 3 Bridge Solution stands apart because of our holistic approach. We don’t just place a young person in a room and walk away. We build relationships.

1. Comprehensive Training and Support
We ensure you are fully prepared before a young person ever steps through your door. Our training covers everything from understanding trauma to practical safeguarding. Once you are active, you have access to 24/7 support. You are never on your own.

2. Financial Allowances
We value your time and your generosity. All our hosts receive a competitive weekly allowance to cover the costs of hosting. This allows you to focus on mentoring rather than worrying about the extra utility bills or food costs. We make sure our financial support package is clear and reliable.

3. Careful Matching Process
We don’t believe in random placements. We take great care to match hosts and young people based on lifestyles, preferences, and personalities. This careful curation is central to our success and ensures a harmonious home environment for everyone involved.

The Impact of a Stable Home

Imagine trying to study for college or hold down a first job while worrying about where you will sleep that night. It is nearly impossible. By offering supported lodgings, you remove that anxiety.

When a young person feels safe, they can finally focus on their potential. We have seen incredible transformations. Young people who were once withdrawn and anxious have gone on to university, secured apprenticeships, and moved into their own private rentals, all because a host in Redhill gave them a chance.

Our approach focuses on “low support,” meaning these young people have a level of independence already but need that final push and safety net. It is distinct from high-need fostering. It is about guidance, chatting over a cup of tea, and modelling how to handle life’s ups and downs.

Who Can Be a Host?

There is no “typical” host. You might be working full-time, part-time, or retired. You might be single, married, or in a partnership. You might have children of your own living at home, or your children might have flown the nest, leaving you with a spare room available.

The most important requirements are:

A spare bedroom that is private and furnished.
A non-judgemental attitude.
Patience and a sense of humour.
A willingness to help a young person prepare for independence.

If you tick these boxes, you are exactly who we are looking for. We celebrate diversity and welcome hosts from all cultural and religious backgrounds, as this reflects the diverse group of young people we support.

The Process: Step by Step

Taking the first step can feel daunting, but we make it simple.

Initial Chat: Give us a ring or browse our website to get a feel for what we do. We will have an informal chat to answer your immediate questions.
Home Visit: We will pop round to see your space and get to know you better. This helps us understand what kind of placement would suit you.
Assessment and Training: We guide you through the necessary checks (like DBS) and provide our specialist training.
Approval: Once approved, you become part of the 3 Bridge family.
Matching: We begin the process of finding a young person who fits well with your household.

Building a Community in Redhill

We are particularly focused on expanding our network of Supported Lodgings Hosts Redhill because Redhill is such a fantastic location for young people to thrive.
