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.

Time for you
We have 2 locations where adults with learning disabilities who live in Westminster or the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea can go for a short break.
Short breaks give people a safe place to stay during a crisis or a regular stay away from their family home to support families in their caring responsibilities.
Our teams are trained and supported by managers to meet each persons needs which includes complex physical and mental health challenges, maintaining independent living skills while permanent move on is being arranged and doing fun activities within the service and the community.
Referrals for these places are only through Westminster and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea learning disability teams.

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.
