My halow story

"It seems like ages since I first moved in to my halow house through Supported Living. I live with great people who I am friends with which is really good. I have learnt a lot about living independently! Things like housework, learning to cook and what I have to do day after day have made me feel like I can achieve anything I set my mind to. The buddies who support me at home are really helpful and supportive when I need it the most. Living with this support has meant that I can do my own thing which is important. I love being in Supported Living!"

Inspiring story of the month: Chloe's Work Experience

We were delighted to have work experience student Chloe on board with halow for a jam-packed week. She had the opportunity to find out what it's like to work in the halow office, go to a social activity with our young people, and be Hector the halow bear for a day. See how she got on and find out her thoughts about doing work experience at halow! Read more
