Learning disability schemes London

Who do we help?

In Touch run 6 specialist services which offer support and accommodation to adults with learning disabilities within the London Boroughs of Greenwich, Lambeth, Southwark, Croydon & Bromley.

These services support adults with learning disabilities who are encouraged to develop and maintain their ability to live as independently as possible.

About the services

These services are long term services which support a around 40  people and are made up of floating support and accommodation based services.

If you receive support from us you will meet with your support worker on a regular basis, depending on your individual needs. This is worked out and agreed at the beginning of the service and regularly reviewed.

Outside of these support visits, residents can contact In Touch Monday to Friday, 9.00am to 5.00pm to receive extra advice or support.

We work with people to identify their needs and to find ways to achieve their goals. The support can focus on things like housing, health, money and community activities. This is agreed in a Personal Development Plan, which we regularly review with service users.

We maintain good links with specialist services in each local authority , in order to provide extra, more specialist support.

What next?

The support received from In Touch will not cost you anything as it is funded by the Supporting People Team in each Borough Council.

Referrals to these schemes are made through the local authorities in these areas.
