we aim to provide a safe and welcoming environment
SCL work with 22 local authorities across London, Kent, and the Southeast of England and support 40+ young adults currently in our services.
We have young adults who have moved on to FT employment, University placements and achieving more than their own expectations originally allowed them. Inspiring and guiding young adults is our passion to enable them to become more independent and thrive as they transition into adulthood is the aim of Social Care London.
how we help
Social Care London provide clear expectations and ensure we meet these and support young adults to take responsibility for their own lives.
We focus initially on building trust and good communication through positive interaction with all young adults. A document we use is called the Independence Tool kit which supports all young adults to create and take pride in their achievements and use this to evidence to the Local authority and housing representatives their suitability and readiness to move onto their own flat within the community.
A safe, high-specification home to transition comfortably into adulthood.
Provide support & guidance throughout the process.
Ongoing & consistent support is offered until you're ready to be fully independent.
we help change young adults' lives
At SCL we provide:
- A safe living environment
- Access to 24-hour support
- A plan to assist you becoming independent
break the cycle of homelessness

…in the heart of London
