Short profile:
Carr-Gomm is a national charity providing high quality support and housing services that place individuals at the centre of planning and decision making, enabling them to have control over their lives. We work with people with a variety of needs who need support because of illness or disability or because they are experiencing a crisis in their lives.
Every year we support over 4, 000 people across England. Many of the people who use Carr-Gomm services have mental ill-health, a learning disability or other disability. Some have experienced homelessness, domestic abuse or face losing their home due to personal crises.
Detailed description:
Carr-Gomm offers the support that people need to be able to live independently and achieve their personal goals – whether that is to get a job, have their own flat or make new friends.
Each of our projects is set up in the community to meet local needs. We work closely with local authorities and other agencies to design and deliver a range of specialist services, such as move-on options for homeless people, day services, housing for people with learning disabilities, self-contained flats and floating support services for women escaping domestic violence.
We help people to identify their goals by developing individual support plans with them when they first join Carr-Gomm. We are introducing Person Centred Planning in Carr-Gomm as a way of helping all our clients plan what they want for their lives and what support they need to achieve their goals.
Our clients are at the centre of Carr-Gomm services and we value their contribution (we call our service users, “clients” after they chose this title). Carr-Gomm has a strong track record in user involvement services, which are recognised in our sector and which we share through our consultancy, Consult Carr-Gomm. We believe that each individual has the right to have a say in the running of the services they receive. We have twice won the TPAS award for Participation into Practice.
