Mother & baby

Mother & Baby

Some of our properties are used only for mothers and their baby’s. We have found through our services there is a great lack in this provision and vulnerable mothers are left without adequate housing.

The purpose of our Mother & Baby units are to create a safe and nurturing environment for  vulnerable single women aged 18 – 25 to develop their independent living skills whilst they care for their child or prepare for their baby.

We support our Service Users with life skills, such as cooking, budgeting and accessing benefits, paediatric first aid and how to grow emotional resilience and secure attachment to their babies.

We support our Service Users to understand and recognise signs of abuse and neglect, helping them to raise safeguarding concerns.

We currently have one mother and baby unit. This unit consists of 3 individual bedrooms and one communal bathroom. All bedrooms are fully equipped with:

  • Single bed with bedding
  • Bedside table and lamp
  • Wardrobe
  • Chest of drawers
  • Cot bed/Moses basket
  • Baby monitor
  • Welcome bag, containing a baby starter pack

 

Downstairs living area is communal with a fully equipped kitchen, living room and a well maintained garden in the rear of the home.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you would like to move into one of our supported accommodation, please call us on 0121 439 9190 and speak to member of our team.

Most of the people who live in our supported accommodation are entitled to housing benefit that covers the rent. A calculation will be made on how much rent you will have to pay – our support team will help you with this. There is an additional small service charge that will not be covered by benefits.

The weekly service charge is your contribution to the utilities and towards the support you get. Paying service charges demonstrates you understand the importance of paying bills which will help you budget better when you move onto you permanent housing

Service charges are charged weekly. Most of our residents either pay weekly or set up a monthly standing order with their banks
