Our Values – I.N.S.P.I.R.E.

Our values define everything we do and ensure the people we support are at the heart of every decision:

Together, these principles form the heart of our care model — an INSPIRE approach that supports and empowers.

  • Forward-thinking, person-centred support.

  • Creating safe and supportive spaces for growth.

  • Empowering individuals to build on their abilities.

  • Early action to reduce crisis and instability.

  • Working together with partners and communities.

  • Promoting independence through guided support.

  • Ensuring inclusion, dignity, and respect for all.

🏠 Supported Living

We provide specialist supported living accommodation for adults with additional support needs, including those experiencing mental health challenges or social isolation.

Each home is fully furnished, maintained to a high standard, and designed to promote safety, independence, and comfort.

Our homes include:

  • Private or shared bedrooms with modern amenities

  • 24/7 on-call support access

  • Personalised support plans

  • Links to healthcare, wellbeing, and employment support

Our “step-down” model helps people transition from higher levels of care (e.g. hospital or residential) into community-based living, with support gradually reduced as confidence and independence grow.

🤝 Floating & Community Support

We also offer non-regulated, low-level floating support for individuals ready for more independence.


This service helps people manage tenancies, finances, and life skills while staying connected to community networks and ongoing wellbeing support.

🌱 Empowerment & Development

Through local partnerships, we deliver therapeutic and personal development opportunities, including:

  • Life-skills training and budgeting

  • Employment and education support

  • Mental health and wellbeing sessions

  • Creative therapy and peer mentoring.

Therapeutic Support

We integrate therapeutic approaches such as art, music, drama, and cognitive behavioural support to help residents manage emotions, reduce anxiety, and improve wellbeing.

These activities complement our structured support to help each person achieve emotional balance and long-term stability.

Equality, Dignity & Safeguarding

We are an inclusive organisation that celebrates diversity and protects the rights of everyone we support.

Our safeguarding standards meet national guidelines, and our equality framework ensures no one faces discrimination based on background, beliefs, or identity.

All staff are trained in:

  • Mental Capacity Act principles

  • Safeguarding and confidentiality

  • Duty of Candour and Equality Legislation

Quality Assurance

We continuously review and improve our service through:

  • Regular audits and feedback surveys

  • Staff performance monitoring and ongoing training

  • Transparent communication with stakeholders and families

We are committed to accountability, openness, and continuous improvement.

Referrals & Access

We accept:

  • Agency referrals: Local authorities, housing teams, charities, and social services

  • Self-referrals: Individuals and families seeking temporary or supported accommodation

📄 Eligibility: We support individuals and families aged 18+ who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, and vulnerable adults requiring supported living in the Nottingham area.

⏳ Length of Stay: Accommodation is temporary — once stability is achieved, we help residents transition to long-term or independent housing, typically within 3–12 months, depending on individual progress.
