The Wandsworth Project
Supported Accommodation
The Wandsworth Project provides temporary, supported accommodation for single homeless people with a history of poor mental health, having high support needs.
Our staff work in a multi-agency and multi-disciplinary way, alongside mental health professionals and other agencies involved in an individuals’ care.
Our staff promote an asset/strength-based approach towards client engagement and the autonomy of their own care and emotional well-being.
At Wandsworth, each resident has an allocated key worker to help co-ordinate the care and support they need.
Through structured co-produced support planning and liaison with Community Mental Health Teams, other health care professionals and a client’s own assets (as per the DoH’s Triangle of Care), staff encourage residents to get involved in all areas of their own care.
Staff support their clients to develop the life-skills needed to engage in ETE (Education, Training and Employment) initiatives, as well as developing the self-confidence to sustain themselves within the community.
