New here - Mum to 26 year old man with Hydrocephalus

[Muttonchop]

Does anyone have any helpful information about how to help find accommodation for a young couple with mild learning difficulties? My son has recently got engaged, and the couple want to get married and live together, but will need a certain amount of support, particularly with managing finances.

Speak to Mencap helpline they maybe able to help you or suggest who might be able to assist you.

hi Muttonchop i second what jofisher says,but i know from memory you need to contact social services and ask for a community care asesment and go from there.

Hello

That is wonderful news - congratulations to them both.

There is some information about housing on Mencap's website here - mencap.org.uk/advice-and-su...

But it will depend on what they need, and what is available near you. There are some great suggestions on here, but do give Mencap's helpline a call and see how they can help. Call the on 0808 808 1111, or you can email [e-mail].

Best wishes

Sarah
