I'm setting up a Supported Living Provision - care for young people in the SE of England with SEN (specifically learning disabilities).

Any ideas? :)

I would think, given the clientele that you are working with, that something that ‘does what is says on the tin’ rather than a clever pun would be a good idea.
Maybe also having the name of the place that you are based would help with avoiding confusion.
Something with help, assist, independence maybe
Helping hands
Assisted independence
A little help

Any of those could have the place name before or after.

Very true! I like your options, thank you. I just wonder if they're a bit generic, I'd like something a bit more memorable? Most of people using the company name are carers, the families of the service users and the council- the service users themselves don't usually have much awareness of the details of the care provider (in my experience).

Will it be in their own home or registered premises where they live in?

If the latter something like 'The Lighthouse'-sounds optimistic and, well, illuminating-like you will be leading the way... (do you need any staff? My contract is about to be up and I'm a very good registered manager 🙂).

It went well, thanks! We’ve been up and running since May 2020 (bad timing with Covid…) and we have a small number of clients that we support now. Really lucky to have a great team and work with great clients!
