​Our service is support...

​

We stole a great quote from a friend in Western Australia, Richard Orr who says that organisations like New Prospects shouldn't be thinking about models of support, or hours, or slots or 'packages' they should be thinking and asking... 

 

 'How can we be most helpful in your life?'

 

So that's what we are trying to find out when we meet you.  You might come up with something that really works for you, that we've never tried but we are up for anything!​

​

Here are some of the things we do;

​

Supported Living

​

At New Prospects we believe supported living is what you make it! We provide dedicated care and support in your own home whether you live by yourself or share with others. It’s your home we just support you to live the life you choose!  You will help choose the staff who work with you and you will decide how things are done.

​

We are not the landlord, you have your own housing rights whether you own your home or rent it. Our staff will work with you to decide how you want to be supported and we’ll stick to that unless you tell us to change it! We’ll listen to you and people who care about you to work out what matters most and what you want out of life – we will develop a person centred plan so we can support you in the best way possible at home and as a member of your community.

 

Enablement Support – Get Up, Get Out, Get Connected

​

We have been providing ‘outreach’ support for people in the North East for the last few years. We support people to do whatever it is they want and need to do. We support people with practical things – help to get up in the morning, support with money and budgeting and help to do shopping. We support people to play their part in their community.  A member of our enablement team will become your dedicated worker and will  work with you to ensure you get the most out of life.   

 

Shared Management ​

 

If you have a direct payment and you employ your own staff but would like a bit of help with the management of your service – staff supervisions, doing the rotas, working out the budget and how to spend it -  then we can help you.  Please get in touch and ask for further information.

 

Community Networks/Friendship Networks

 

New Prospects Community Networks are a new and exciting way for people to make the most of their support, their community and their own skills. Four people join a network and each pay towards the cost of a network facilitator, ​instead of paying for one to one support, making connections, supporting other network members and making paid support go further.
