Our aim is to provide each client with semi-independent, leading
to independent living in a safe and secure environment.
We can offer 2 levels of support: residential and
floating. We also organise regular
activities.
Residential Support
We own four
adjoining properties in Stratford upon Avon and we are currently able
to provide supported accommodation for twelve people.
Each residential client
has their own room and shares the kitchen, bathroom, lounge and
dining room in each property. Usually the newest resident is
allocated the smallest bedroom but is offered a larger room when one
becomes available. Residents are encouraged to bring
their own personal possessions to make the houses as homely as
possible.
Each resident is offered help in the areas of their specific
need, and covers a whole range of life and social skills. The
support and help available includes: budgeting, self-catering,
shopping economically, diet, employment, household chores, use of
spare time and leisure activities, starting a training scheme,
college course and volunteering.

Floating Support
In addition to the residential service, The Mustard Tree Project
also provides a "floating" support service to a further twelve
clients who live independently in their own homes. In certain
circumstances, residential clients who are able to move to
independent living may remain a client of the Mustard Tree Project
under the floating support service.
