CHannelling potential

Changing futures

At Rivers Independence, we provide bespoke packages of support to young people in the South West of England on their journey to independent living. Our support helps young people to successfully manage accommodation through the relationships we build focussing on life skills development, emotional resilience and staying safe.

Our packages of support are tailored to suit the needs of the individual young person, if this is floating support or 24/7 support required to meet their needs. Our service is flexible regarding our availability to respond during Monday to Friday working hours, evenings and weekends.

We are experienced in providing intensive packages of support to young people with complex needs who require crisis intervention to address the risk of homelessness. We have successfully supported young people alongside local authorities regarding maintaining their accommodation, when this has been difficult for them to achieve in the past.
