Directory of Supporting People Services

Local Supported & Sheltered Housing and related services

About the Directory

Open the Directory through the link in 'Related Documents', on the right-hand side of this page.

This booklet is intended for use by both service users and professionals. Its purpose is to provide a directory of the different housing-related support services available in Bath & North East Somerset, and to facilitate referrals to suitable schemes.

The booklet lists details of all the services funded by the Council’s Supporting People Team.

Services are run by various different Providers. Some Providers run a number of different Services.

For each Provider, the directory shows:

  • Location of the services
  • Accommodation type – (if applicable - not all services are accommodation based)
  • Capacity – the number of people/units which the service can serve
  • Type of support provided – such as whether it is accommodation based or floating support (where support workers visit people in their own homes)
  • Primary client group – who the service is intended for
  • Age group – some services only accept certain age groups
  • Household type – whether service caters for single people or families
  • Support duration – how long the service is available to users for – whether it is short-term or long-term
  • The referral route – how to access the service

Every effort has been made to ensure that the information contained in this booklet is correct at the time of publication. However, it is inevitable that some of the services described and the contact numbers given will change over time.

Bath & North East Somerset Council cannot accept any responsibility for any standards of service which fall outside their control.

The booklet has been compiled by the Supporting People Team for Adult Social Services & Housing.

If you would like a printed copy of the directory, please telephone The Supporting People Team on 01225 396187, or email Supporting_People@bathnes.gov.uk.

About Supporting People

Many people living in Bath and North East Somerset require care or support to enable them to live independently in their own homes.

Housing-related support can include help with tasks such as:

  • managing finances and benefits
  • finding accommodation
  • sustaining tenancies
  • accessing other support services
  • developing independent living skills
  • establishing and maintaining contact with family, friends and organisations
  • keeping a property safe and secure
