Our Services
Supported Accommodation 16+
Supported Lodgings 16+
In many cases, young people benefit from spending time living as a lodger in the home of a responsible adult. In that setting they have a high level of independence but also have access to some support and guidance in preparation to taking on their own tenancies.
Children's Home
We provide children’s home places for young people needing care services as well as support. This includes solo placements and young people with complex needs.
Adult Services for over 18s including learning disabilities and complex needs:
- Enhancing the young person’s ability to become self sufficient

- Managing emotions including grief and anger
- Rebuilding relationships with family and other significant adults
- Positive Behavioural Support trained staff
Support and Encourage
When young people arrive with us, they are given extensive support and encouragement to not only settle in and feel at home, but also to gather motivation and direction. Young people are encouraged to have dreams and believe in themselves. On admission they are offered a key worker that works closely to get to know the young person whilst supporting them in building goals and targets for the future. The goals and activities are incentivised by the project and young people are able to earn money, vouchers or items towards moving on, dependent upon their circumstances and needs. This method of encouraging engagement and motivation has proven to be successful in helping young people to see the benefits of changing their behaviour and build future prospects.
Caring changes lives
Lori Bryson
We believe
that by giving young people the opportunity to believe in themselves and their own capability we support them to gradually take responsibility for their lives and come to terms with issues relating to their past experiences or the breakdown in family relationships. In doing so young people are able to leave us feeling accepted, cared for with positive goals and dreams for the future.
FSIP recognises the challenges faced by young people when they can no longer live at home for a variety of reasons.
We understand that some young people do not have enough support to help them take their first steps into independence.
We are also aware that when life is unstable or there is a lack of adequate support or boundaries that young people are more likely to make choices that lead to negative behaviour patterns and low self-esteem.
FSIP aim to encourage and challenge young people to make a FRESH START.
We adopt an understanding and non-judgemental position as we seek to plan appropriate intervention strategies to suit the individual needs of each of our residents.
We provide support and specialist guidance in a number of areas including.
- Independent living skills
- Education, Training and Employment guidance
- Guidance related to Drug & Alcohol misuse
- Help to reduce missing from home episodes
- Support for young people at risk of CSE
- Therapeutic life story multimedia programme
- Post 18 floating support
- Emergency out of hours accommodation service
- We are able to provide bespoke support packages including provisions for young people on a range of court orders or those with higher than usual support needs
