"My twin boys both live at Meyrick Cottage and Meyrick Lodge. I could not be happier for them both, they are both so happy. They have come on so much with their independence. The staff are so lovely, you can see how much they all love helping and working with my boys. They still come home to us every other weekend. But sometimes I feel they love being at the Cottage and Lodge so much they'd rather be there than home. The homes are so homely, safe and such a happy place for my boys to be. They are always doing so much with them. Also, lots of everyday life skill activities like, going food shopping, bus rides, days out, weekends away, going to hair dressers to have their hair cut, clothes shopping. After years of struggling on my own with my boys, it’s such a joy and relief to see them so safe and happy at Meyrick Cottage and Lodge, I can 100% say they are meeting all my boys needs and more. I feel so grateful and lucky for my boys."

"A huge thank you to you for making our sons move to Meyrick Cottage so smooth. The attention to detail and the thoughtfulness that you showed in making sure that our son would feel happy, safe and secure in his new environment could not have been better. From easing him in by inviting him to have tea with the other housemates and then an overnight stay was perfectly paced for him. Also giving him the opportunity to choose how he wished his bedroom to be decorated definitely gave him a sense of pride and identity in his new environment. The whole experience was made such a positive one for all of us, which is why he has settled in immediately and has never looked back. The team have also continued to make sure that our son is living his best life."

"I have worked alongside both residential services and supported living for approximately 7 years. During this time, I have supported the transition for a number of very complex individuals, from children’s social care, in to their adult placement, with Developing Lives Services. I have received a supportive, professional service and have felt confident in their ability to support young people with a complex, often challenging presentation, and have felt confident in their ability to make this work."
