Keyring-living Support Networks
 United Kingdom  |  Disability

To support as many people who have a learning difficulty as possible to take up a choice of independent living; build on successful work and make Living Support Networks available to people nationwide; provide long-term, flexible, easily accessible supports - to provide support in the way people want it when they want it; put people's own abilities, strengths and personal resources at the centre of their support.

KeyRing exists to enable members of its Living Support Networks to exercise choice in and take responsibility for their own homes. KeyRing's support was designed to make the best use of network members' own abilities. Ten ordinary properties are scattered around a small neighbourhood. You can walk easily from one property to another. Nine flats or houses are for people with learning disabilities. The tenth flat is for KeyRing's community Living Worker who works part-time on a flexible basis. This arrangement enables KeyRing to build layers of support around the network members. KeyRing works hard to build links with the local community and believes that these Community Connections are an important part of independent living. Along with mutual support within the network, Community Connections reduce dependence on workers and develop members' confidence and self-reliance.
