01
Independent Living Skills
Daily routines, cooking, household management and the practical confidence to maintain a home. Each young person works through a structured life-skills programme with their key worker.
Our Support Models
A seven-pillar framework for independent living
Every young person at Willoughby Place is supported across seven domains. Together they form the foundation of a successful transition into adulthood, and the basis of our outcomes framework. Alongside our Ofsted regulated supported accommodation homes, we deliver floating support for young adults aged 19–25 living in the community.
02
Education, Employment & Training
Bespoke pathways into college, apprenticeships and employment. We work with local providers, careers services and employers to keep young people engaged and progressing.
03
Emotional Wellbeing
Trauma-informed support delivered by trained staff with psychological oversight from Dr Costa. Referrals to specialist mental-health services where required.
04
Budgeting & Financial Literacy
Practical money skills, budgeting, banking, benefits navigation, saving and managing bills, embedded in everyday key-work sessions.
05
Health & Wellbeing
Registration with local GPs, dentists and opticians. Sexual health, substance use and healthy lifestyle education built into the support plan.
06
Community Integration
Building positive networks beyond the home, hobbies, volunteering, sport and faith communities, to reduce isolation and build belonging.
07
Tenancy Readiness
A clear move-on pathway with structured preparation for independent tenancy: rights and responsibilities, neighbour relations, repair reporting and managing setbacks.
Our Provisions
Two provisions, one journey
Willoughby Place delivers two distinct provisions. Supported accommodation for young people aged 16–18+, where the young person lives with us. Floating support for young adults aged 19–25, where the support comes to them.
Supported Accommodation (16+)
The young person lives with us
- Placement in one of our three London homes
- At least one staff member on-site throughout the day and evening, with overnight sleep-in cover
- Ofsted regulated under the supported accommodation standards
- Key-worker model with support planning across our seven pillars
For young people in crisis or transition who need a safe, structured base before moving on. Move-on from our homes is typically to step-down accommodation.

The support comes to them
- Accommodation arranged or provided where needed, with support delivered by visiting
- A named support worker visits at agreed intervals
- Housing stability, budgeting, landlord liaison and daily living skills

A natural next step for young people moving on from our homes, and open to referrals for young adults aged 19–25 already living in the community who need structured support to stay settled where they live.
