Semi Independent Living/Staying Close

Our semi-independent homes are more than just somewhere to live. They create a bridge between childhood and adulthood so that a young person is prepared for the challenges of living independently.

Holly Lodge is able to provide life skills for our young people, which empowers them to participate in the planning, evaluating and decision-making processes for their care. The programme itself provides them with the opportunities to develop a sense of independence, autonomy and responsibility as well as gaining skills vital to assist them to live independently.

We offer counselling support and a variety of therapies to help care leavers and those young people that are looked after,  to overcome difficulties they have experienced, and to support them to develop their self-confidence and self-esteem to live sustainable lives.

Our support and guidance do not end when our young people transition into adulthood. We track the progress of our young people through to adulthood, and our team will continue to support our clients and will always be a shoulder to lean on.
