A HOME WHICH HAS LET THE LIGHT IN

“My flat is spacious, it’s all really modern and I’m allowed to express myself. Living here is a big step forward, after being in institutions for five to six years where you don’t really get the opportunity to do that.”

We spoke to Emma to understand what she likes most about her home at Leeds Supported Living in Gildersome. 

Located in the village of Gildersome, Leeds Supported Living has been providing a Specialised Supported Living service for adults with mental health needs since December 2020. Staff support tenants to develop their confidence and skills with the hope that they will eventually be able to move on and live independently.

We spoke with one of the tenants Emma and ISL service manager Kirsty to find out how Emma’s life has changed since she moved in to Leeds Supported Living, Gildersome.
