 ‘Personalised Support’ –This is the new buzz word from the government – but what does
  it mean?
  We think it is great because it describes exactly what we do. We support more than 140
  people with learning disabilities, working with you and/or your family to find out what
  support you need, when you want it, what it costs and who can provide it.

  Once we have worked this out together, we can design a service using  Southdown’s 
  skilled staff as well as lots of other resources in the community. We can help you buy in ‘
 Personal Assistants ‘and support or supervise them, or we can put you in touch with 
 other service providers in your area.

 We can help you find a place to live – renting from a landlord, buying your own home through ‘Shared Ownership’, taking up a tenancy in a Supported Living scheme, or sharing with friends.

Whatever your needs – we are passionate about helping you to make choices, work towards independence, and to be involved as a citizen in your local community.
