Overview
Spring Gardens is a supported living scheme of seven self-contained apartments in Radcliffe, designed specifically for young people leaving care. It sits at a critical juncture — the moment when a young person transitions out of a structured environment and needs to start building an independent life.
The scheme was created in response to a real and pressing need: quality, compliant accommodation that gives young people their own front door, alongside the support infrastructure to help them use it well.
The Detail
The building provides seven individual apartments, each designed to offer genuine privacy and independence, alongside the configuration needed to support 24/7 staffing. The layout strikes a deliberate balance – private enough to feel like home, connected enough to provide the support that residents still need.
From initial conversation through to completion, the scheme was delivered in just seven weeks. That pace matters. Housing need doesn’t wait, and our ability to move quickly is part of what makes us useful to the people we work with.
The scheme operates as a progression model — helping residents move from higher-support environments into their own space, before eventually stepping on to fully independent living.
The Outcome
Spring Gardens gives young people something they rarely get: a real home of their own, at the point in life when it matters most. A safe place to build confidence, develop life skills, and take their first genuine steps towards independence. We’re proud it’s in Radcliffe.
