Our welcome video

For a minimum of 6 months, and for up to 18 months, we will provide a safe, high quality, and welcoming home from day 1 of being referred into Ignis Lodge.

Once settled into our community, we will work  to understand your physical and mental health. Our on-site support team will provide mental and physical health support whilst working with NHS and healthcare partners to provide for complex or enduring need. 

Our skills coaches will map out your skills and education needs. Especially those needs which would enable you to develop and gain employment. A personalised plan will be agreed and we will work with local colleges and skills providers to ensure high quality provision which delivers success for you.

Once you feel ready and equipped for work, we will provide employment coaching, work placements and job brokerage to find a role which works for you. This will be integrated within your personal plan to ensure it aligns with your health and skills needs. We'll review this regularly with you and support any conversations with the Department for Work and Pensions and other agencies and bodies. 

When the time comes for you to leave our programme, we will ensure it is planned and managed seamlessly. The team will support you in taking those steps, and work alongside you to settle into a new home and your happy, healthy and independent life.

Though leaving our programme, you will never leave our community. As an alumni, we will continue to keep in touch, invite you to events, and be here for you, alongside, and in your corner.
