Portland Freedom - Independent Living Programme

A programme is totally bespoke to each individual’s needs and can include some of the following:

  • Personal Care Skills - developing a morning and evening routine, managing medication and hygiene skills.
  • Household Management Skills - cleaning, cooking, making a drink or snack and weekly food shopping.
  • Community Access - learning to travel independently using public transport, increasing social communication skills with support.

As part of the programme, Citizens are encouraged to access work experience placements along with supported access to the local community for activities such as a sport or fitness class. Citizens will also work with staff on a transition plan which will detail their aspirations for future living.
