Community Living Services

Our Community Living Services team provides a supported living model that is person-centred, and designed to help people with a wide range of support needs retain and increase their independence.

About Community Living Services

Working collaboratively with people, their families, and professionals, we aim to promote and encourage the opportunity for supported individuals to participate in regular patterns of living.

This promotes greater autonomy when making decisions that directly affect their lives and the services they receive.

Innovate Trust’s Community Living Services team oversees the contracts commissioned by the Local Authorities in Cardiff, Rhondda Cynon Taf, and the Vale of Glamorgan.

We provide varied levels of support, from 24-hour Supported Living Settings, Short Stay Services and Outreach sessional support.

We work in collaboration with external colleagues from Social Services, Health Services, Registered Social Landlords and, of course, the families of the people we support.

Our aim is to ensure the individuals we support live fulfilled lives within their local and wider communities and have the opportunity to maintain and develop relationships and friendships.
