Type of Support
Freespace can support you in many different ways depending on your particular needs.
We will work with you to identify what you need and want from us.
To get an idea of the kinds of support we regulalry provide please take a look at our Support Menu: Freespace Support Menu.pdf
Freespace currently provides support in two ways. At a number of sites in central Edinburgh, people share a team of staff based in an adjacent staff flat or ‘core flat’.
Support is also available on a one-to-one or ‘outreach’ basis. This is provided in your own home with staff present for the duration of their shift.
If night support is required you may have a staff sleep-in based in your home, or be linked to a core flat with a waking night shift available. There is also the option of assistive technology which can be used to enhance overnight support. In a one-to-one setting you are likely to be supported by a small team of support workers dedicated to your service, again selected by you and familiar with your needs and routines.
