Supported housing for learning disabilities or autism What supported living for learning disabilities means for our tenants We all need somewhere to call home. It’s a need we all share. But if you have a learning disability or autism it can be much harder to find a place to call yours – somewhere you can live independently, with all the support you need to feel part of a community too. This is why supported housing is so important. But how does supported housing help those with learning disabilities or autism? Zetetick tenants, Nathan and Rosie, share their stories.   Nathan's story Nathan is a young man with ...read more on our charity website:

A Tribute to our First Tenant At Zetetick Housing, we recently said goodbye to someone very special: our very first tenant. Her memory continues to shine brightly in the hearts of all who had the pleasure of knowing her.  She was the kind of person who lit up every room she walked into. With a deep love for tattoos, Bob Marley, and an infectious sense of humour with a wonderful way to make you laugh whenever the team saw her; she truly was one of a kind. Being in her company was always a joy; her presence brought warmth, humour, and a glow of something unique, leaving a lasting impression on all of us. Those who knew her ...read more on our charity website:
