People are at the heart of what we do here at Derventio Housing Trust.

Which is why we fully support Befriending Week. Running from the 1st to the 7th November Befriending Week is the annual campaign of the incredible impact of befriending and the people that make it happen. This year’s theme is “Supporting each other through meaningful connections.”

At Derventio Housing Trust most of the homes we run are shared, there are many benefits to living in a shared home, especially for people who haven’t lived independently before. Sharing a home can lead to new friendships and mutual support. It is a good way for people to get used to living independently while still having other people around.

We encourage and support friendships between residents, building meaningful connections that help beat loneliness and build new life skills.

At our Growing Lives project participants have the opportunity to interact with staff and other participants with similar lived experience through a range of activities including arts & crafts, cooking, gardening and a bike club where participants can make a bike for themselves.

We also arrange days out with staff and residents for example a recent visit to Derby Museum’s Lara Croft exhibition, Derby Quad, Bennerley Viaduct, The National Arboretum, and Warwickshire Golf & Country Club

This is an interesting read from The National Housing Federation about the future of lived experience. The blog and report make the point that ending homelessness is about making a life - putting a roof over someone’s head is just the first step. It’s also important to note that many people need ongoing support when they get their own place and it’s not always available.

The Future of Supported Housing project: learning from lived experience
We reviewed the existing literature from the perspective of people with lived experience of supported housing, to understand the experiences and challenges they have already shared.

Happy memories are something we can look back on time and time again with a smile on our faces! 😊

Here is a picture and quote from David, a previous resident who has moved on to independent living.

“I want to express my sincere gratitude to Deventio Housing Trust and especially my housing officer, who went far beyond what his role required. From the very beginning he walked with me through the process with patience, understanding and genuine care. With the emotional challenges I was carrying at the time, the journey could easily have been overwhelming, but he handled everything with kindness and professionalism”.

As a supported housing provider, it gives us great pride as an organisation, and job satisfaction for our staff when residents are able to move onto independent accommodation following on from the support we have provided to them while in our supported accommodation.

Our Instagram page is full of happy memories, take a look and follow us at https://www.instagram.com/derventiohousingtrust/

So today, take a moment to relive a happy memory, or even take a picture to look back on in the future to remember today!
