SUPPORTED LODGINGS IN SOUTH GLOUCESTERSHIRE
Could you provide a stable, caring environment for a young person whilst providing well-being support and advice? We run a Supported Lodgings Scheme in south Gloucestershire, which helps young people aged 16-25 to move into independence by placing them with a supportive host family for 6-24 months.
Supported Lodgings is a great first step if you’re thinking about becoming a foster carer. It can give you the skills, experience, and training to help with fostering applications whilst providing young people with somewhere safe and supportive to stay. In addition, as a Supported Lodgings host, you can access much of the continuous professional development South Gloucestershire Council offers foster carers.
