## The last year….. 

Since opening the Thrive Devon supported house opened and welcoming our first resident on 7[th] April 2021, we have continued to build up a good number of referral partners and have accommodated 4 residents to date.  Residents stay for a varied length of time according to their support needs and situation. 

Thrive Devon receives income primarily from exempt Housing Benefit via the local council and this covers property lease payments to Green Pastures and running costs.  Residents also pay a small weekly service charge for personal heat, light, and internet.   These funds help to provide Supported Housing Accommodation for female residents as they take steps towards independent living, following previously being made homeless and/or living in vulnerable circumstances. 

We offer a safe place to call home where residents can learn to live well, love life and thrive. 

Residents not only receive housing management support to help them maintain their accommodation and licence but also receive tailored personal support to

address the issues that led to them previously becoming homeless.  This includes encouragement, motivation and mentoring to equip them to make positive lifestyle choices in the future. 

Support includes training in personal budgeting, self-care, day-to-day life skills i.e., cooking, cleaning, physical, emotional, mental & spiritual health (including help to access relevant agencies, organisations & therapies) teamwork & relationship building. 

Residents are encouraged to undertake meaningful activities which include volunteering, hobbies, and fitness, further education/ learning new skills where appropriate.  This all helps to give structure and purpose to their daily routine. 

Residents are supported to attend GP/medical appointments and/or assessments when required.  Often residents find that new situations daunting and having someone alongside puts them at ease and encourages them to attend appointments that are so important to their recovery journey. 

It has been so encouraging to see our residents grow and change as they are supported.  We have seen them build relationships, learn different approaches to situations, adopt new attitudes, and start to consider the needs of others.  We have seen them being able to really appreciate and express the positive things in their lives and grow in confidence. 

Time has been spent by the team considering the type of referrals Thrive are willing and equipped to accept going forward in order to ensure the team can meet the needs of potential residents.
