Short Breaks

Short breaks give people with a learning disability and their carers a break. We offer temporary accommodation and specialist support to people who experience a crisis in their care, or where a family needs a break from their caring responsibilities. 

Short breaks are important for our guests too, so they can take a short holiday, catch up with friends, and try new activities.

What people say about us

I was worried because moving is very stressful and everything was on my mind about moving out. I moved in and people said they can see it in my body language that I’m more happier… I had a lot of choices: one in Chelsea, one in Kilburn High road, one in the countryside, one in Westminster. There were six people looking at the same property and I said to the housing manager I liked it, and I got the first choice. Maggie helped me a lot she did: packing the boxes up in my flat, clothing, paperwork. When I moved in she was there with me, sorting it all out. We done it bit by bit. It was actually fine. I think she even made my bed! She was very helpful Maggie was. She had time for me.

I came for a trial. I had spaghetti Bolognese and a cup of tea and an interview to see if I would like it here. And I said I would. People liked me. So it was my permanent home. I found it much better. I did my washing up. I work at LDN. I’m paying my bills. In hospital you can’t do that. I can draw out my money when I want it.

We all know how important family is to us. It gives us a kind of solid foundation, it anchors us to a place, it makes us feel comfortable and supported. So it’s really important for us that people keep connected with their family, with their community and with their friends.

They support me a lot. We’ve got amazing staff in this house. They’ll always stand by me – if I’m happy about something or if I’m sad about something. It is really nice to have someone there.

I chase my dreams until they became real, thanks to the whole LDN support workers team.
