They have the same rights to:

• Live healthy, productive and independent lives with appropriate and responsive treatment and support to develop their maximum potential;

• Be individuals and decide everyday issues and life-defining matters for themselves joining in all decision-making which affects their lives, with appropriate and responsive advice and support where necessary;
• Live their lives within their community, maintaining the social and family ties and connections which are important to them;
• Have the support of the communities of which they are a part and access to general and specialist services that are responsive to their individual needs, circumstances and preferences.

Their vision is to:

• Provide high quality bespoke accommodation, tailored to individual needs

• Be a leader in innovative tenant participation options for vulnerable people living within their communities

• Continuously strive to develop and improve, long term, valued relationships with stakeholders and staff

• Enable tenants to live  rich ,full and independent  lives in a supported housing setting with a home tailor-made  to suit their needs
