Radical idea for properly inclusive supported housing

SaltandVinegar10 profile image

I hope it's OK to post this here. We are a multi-neurodivergent family in south east London, eldest son 27 autistic with learning disability. I have pretty much given up with our local authority finding any kind of supportive housing for him that I feel is suitable and sustainable, so I have set myself on the (very long!) road of setting up a wholly INCLUSIVE, supportive community for him to live in. It's called Satsuma Neighbour and here is the link to our launch/open networking meeting next Wednesday evening in SE1. Please do come along (regretably no virtual attendance though I might do a facebook live). eventbrite.co.uk/e/satsuma-.... If you can't come but would like to be on our mailing list, please sign up for that on our website: satsumaneighbour.org/ We have a survey for parents/young people to go out soon, also.

Thank you!
