Staff and residents at Sanctuary Supported Living's Middleton House recently came together to celebrate a special anniversary.

For determined 24-year-old Alfie, who lives at a supported housing service for young people aged 18-24 in Basildon, the struggle was real. Having previously experienced PTSD and anxiety, he lacked confidence and struggled to find motivation, alongside dealing with the rising cost of living.

Following a successful fundraising event, the team at Radis Community Care, who provide the onsite care and support at Middleton House, have fundraised enough money to purchase a defibrillator for the service. 

The catering team at Sanctuary Supported Living’s Baskeyfield House, a retirement community in Stoke, have been awarded another top rating of 5 by the Food Standards Agency.

Aldam House and Cottage, a supported housing service which provides accommodation, care and support for people with mental health needs in Goole, has been rated 'Good', after a recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

Two supported housing services for young people have been recognised for their excellence in supporting their customers to achieve their potential.

From kitchen novice to certified chef, Amanda has tuned her passion into a profession with support from her colleagues at Wimborne House, a Sanctuary Supported Living retirement community in Kent.

In an inspiring turn of events, a former resident of supported housing for teenage parents has returned to the service on a student placement - a decade after she first sought refuge there. In 2013, Loren, a care leaver and survivor of domestic abuse, arrived at Sanctuary Supported Living’s Ruth House in search of safety and security. Accompanied by her infant daughter, Loren was young and vulnerable with no family in the area, a history of safeguarding concerns and in need of support.
