Ofsted Regulated Supported Accommodation
Kimberley House

Specialised Support
Kimberley House is a specialist residential facility that has been purpose–built to accommodate a maximum of four young people aged between 16 and 25, whose needs are such that they require enhanced levels of support and encouragement if they are to achieve their full potential and progress to community-based independent living with minimal ongoing intervention.
​
The house has been designed to offer young people their own individual, self-contained flatlet, with living, sleeping and kitchen facilities together with an en-suite shower and washroom.
There will be staff consistently present in the house – including waking night cover – the numbers of which will be determined by individual needs.
Who is Kimberley House for?
This service is intended for young people who are working towards independent living, but who have experienced trauma in their lives which has negatively impacted on their ability, motivation and capacity to take responsibility for all aspects of their lives, and who need enhanced levels of support.
The Offer
Kimberley House, part of The Sanctuary Project
The Sanctuary Project strives to provide a non-rejecting, long-term home for young people which will offer longer-term support and encouragement. Kimberley House is not a stand-alone service, but is fully integrated into the Project's Continuum of Care, which can provide a range of services.
Kimberley House provides each resident with a bespoke programme, based on assessed, expressed and identified needs, the basics of which are agreed prior to admittance and confirmed through a comprehensive baseline assessment as part of the induction process. The programme focusses on the key skills necessary to both survive and succeed, specifically for employment and education, domestic life, constructive leisure, and the full range of requisite life and social skills.
​
It is our intention that, in time, every young person will progress to their own tenancy with minimal intervention, but with advice available on request.
​
The programme offers both informal education and experiential learning, geared to each individual’s ability and learning styles. Learning is externally validated through AQA units and Records of Achievement, which both demonstrate attainment and act as tangible measures of progress.
