How to find a service

Bexley Local Supporting People Directory

Supporting People services provide support to help people live independently in the community. This does not mean just having somewhere to live but developing the necessary skills and confidence to live there successfully and happily. The aim of this local directory is to let you know of the Supporting People services that are available in Bexley and provide information about them.

Services include supported housing, sheltered housing, women’s refuges and ‘floating support’ which is support to someone in their own home – accommodation is not normally provided as part of a floating support service.
