Purpose and Goals: Our supported living services for young people (16+ children) are designed to provide a safe and nurturing environment where the LAC (Look After and Care Leaver) children (including those with special needs) can thrive. We offer personalised care plans, educational, therapeutic support, and social activities to promote development, well-being and smooth transition to adulthood. Encourage community engagement and integration that focus on skills development and enrichment. As an organisation we aim to strategically positioned to support and promote skill uplift and enable young people to complete daily life tasks independently. Focus on practical life skills training through collaboration with community centre, individualised coaching and mentoring on household core skills. For example, we aim to partner with a local community centre that host weekly cooking classes, where young people learn to prepare simple, nutritious dishes. These classes not only provide valuable culinary skills but also foster social connections among young people, making learning a more enjoyable experience. These relationships can significantly enhance the learning experience and provide ongoing support.
