The tenants can choose to spend time in their flats or socialize with staff and other tenants within the shared communal room. Our tenants participate in a wide range of activities that they can access either by using public transport or 4 of our tenants have their own cars (driven by staff).

They also enjoy social gatherings for BBQs and special occasions.
