LIFE BEYOND COLLEGE
The Living Well Service
The Living Well Service is designed for young adults with learning and physical disabilities. Based in Wiltshire, we provide a range of services to enhance and improve the lives of young adults, who live with their families, or who own or rent a home with their own tenancy/license.
The Living Well Service is flexible to individual needs, requirements and budget. There is no ‘one-size fits all’ approach. We work with families, carers and other professionals to decide on the most effective use of The Living Well Service.
STEPS Programme
Fairfield Trust provides support for young adults aged between 16 and 25 with learning difficulties. Our STEPS programmes are based around the individual needs of each young person, enabling them to take the next steps into independent living.
STEPs to independence is an essential program developed specifically for young adults facing unique challenges as they prepare for their transition to independence. The program offers a supported living experience in college houses.
