Our Interaction House Hubs (360G-CheshireCF-A569156)
Over the past few months the individuals we support in supported living have faced huge changes to their daily routines and their support networks. Many of them have been supported to engage with their friends and family via digital technology through tablets, which we were able to purchase with funding from Cheshire Community foundation. Whilst this project has been a huge success, individuals are still missing face to face communication with their friends and family. Unfortunately as the outside world begins to open up as restrictions ease, many of the people we support are continuing to shield, due to health conditions, and in some cases due to fear of catching covid-19. Where possible we are supporting individuals to meet others socially distanced outside, however as we move into autumn and winter this will become increasingly difficult due to the weather/ shorter days. We would like to create a safe space for the people we support to meet with their family and friends outside at the houses where they live, in line with government guidance. At present they are able to meet in gardens, though at present this is very weather dependent. We are seeking funding to build 11 outdoor wooden gazebos to provide a safe, sheltered outside space for the people we support to meet their friends and family.
