Help for a 33yr old daughter with a brain injury is required. We have 23hours a week support that is funded and we are seeking both accomodation and support. Any ideas about where to start would be gratefully received!!

Hello Polonius
Welcome and thanks for posting.
I don't know the Putney area but your local council should be able to help. If you have a social worker they would also be a good starting point.
Another thought - are you in touch with the Headway charity? - headway.org.uk/
They have lots of information focused on brain injuries and have a dedicated helpline - headway.org.uk/supporting-y...
They are likely to know about accommodation and support that would be best for your daughter.
Let us know how you get on.
Best wishes
Sarah
Thankyou Sarah. We have been involved in Brighton with Headway when she was resident there and we are transferring her care to Putney/Kingston area and have contacted various charities. With Covid there is almost nothing that is operational at the moment and housing is in very short supply. But thankyou for your help. We are slowly building a picture of the services in the area
