Community-Based Support
Calm, practical support for community access, confidence and everyday participation
Steady, practical support for everyday life
Community-Based Support with Simon is for people who benefit from calm, respectful support to take part in everyday life.
Support may include getting out into the community, building routines, attending appointments, using public transport, shopping, gentle outdoor activity, or spending meaningful time in local places.
Sessions are shaped around the person’s interests, goals, energy levels and support needs. The focus is on working at the person’s pace, building trust over time, and supporting participation in ways that feel safe, useful and meaningful.
Where helpful, support can also include gardens, parks, walking trails, nature spaces or other outdoor settings.
