About the people and their home
People at Whitehatch enjoy being part of their local community and attend the community centre to play bingo as well as attending church. They also enjoy art & crafts and day trips out to new places. They all have different goals from living healthier lives and finding love to developing skills to help them live with more independence, like cooking or cleaning.
Our Support Workers work alongside the people who live at Whitehatch to achieve these goals by supporting them to access community spaces and encouraging exercise, as well as working closely together to develop their daily living skills.
