Part of our support for young people is to work with them to create some normalcy in their lives. This often involves helping them to understand the importance of a routine in the home – one that they can be part of and help out with. It helps create a sense of both belonging and responsibility.
Here we have some great pictures of RH from our Willow Lodge home. He has been helping staff with the weekly food shop when he helped come up with meal ideas. Afterwards, he went on a cinema trip. We would like to think he enjoyed the shopping as much as the cinema…but we’re not sure! What he did enjoy was being part of the home’s community and getting a sense of achievement from helping out.
