Living independently in your own home is important to us all. Some people need additional support to achieve this, this is where we come in.
Many people with a learning disability and autistic people enjoy living in their own home, or shared accommodation. Choices, our supported living service, provides unique support for each person’s need, so they can really enjoy living independently.
We can work with you to help you budget your money, maintain a place to live, meet new friends, learn new skills and understand your health and wellbeing. We support you to feel confident within your community and live more freely.
Choices is regulated by the Care Quality Commission.
The Reach is a welcoming space in central Brighton where you can access our services and receive support when you need it.
Please call us on 01273 201 900 or email choices@grace-eyre.org
“My support worker is always kind, she comes and supports me. I am respected, it’s a two-way thing.”
Shared Lives is all about sharing everyday life and opening doors to new opportunities.
Whether you are interested in becoming a carer or looking for a place to call home for yourself or someone else, Shared Lives could be the right fit.
Grace Eyre Homeshare Sussex is a safe, mutually beneficial arrangement, which brings together people who have a spare room and may need companionship or help to live independently with people in need of affordable accommodation who are happy to lend a helping hand.
Unlike other Grace Eyre services, Homeshare is not only for people with a learning disability and/or autism. It could suit, for example, an older person living in their own home with a room to spare, who is then carefully matched with a younger person.
Grace Eyre Housing supports tenants to live a more independent life in their own secure home, as part of their local community. We also work in partnership with landlords, letting and management agencies, local authorities, and support providers.
“This has opened more doors than we would ever have had living elsewhere. It’s allowed us to be independent and live how we want to live our lives.”
Would you like to be able to travel around your local community to see your family and friends when you want to?
It might feel like quite a big step, but our Travel Buddy project can work with you and help you gain the confidence to get on a bus by yourself and make that journey.
"Learning to use the buses and trains so I can play football with friends - I love it!"
