The Difference We Make
Members of Neighbourhood Networks get the flexibility and responsive support to meet their own needs.
We develop a Personal Support Plan with each individual and they are supported to establish a life in which they are safe and more independent.
Members will have opportunities to experience a real sense of belonging and involvement.
They will be far less isolated and lonely as they develop their confidence and self-esteem. Members will learn new skills such as independent travel, cooking, life skills, budgeting and as well as developing their own friendship circle.
In the following video we hear from some of our transitions network members aged between 16 and 25 from our North Lanarkshire networks about the difference being involved with Neighbourhood Networks has made for them.
Carer Testimonial
“When my son first joined the Network he hardly went outside the door only with his support worker for the odd hour. The Network staff have a gift of encouraging him to into going to places he would never have even considered before. The Network has been very patient and never given up even if my son has an off day.
The staff are so understanding and the lovely group are now all getting to know each other. I know when my son is out with them he is safe and always comes home happy, this makes me happy too. His confidence is building and I see a great change in him. This organisation is the best thing that could have happened to my son and us as a family and we are so grateful.”
