Working with Aspire and West Oxfordshire District Council, the Our house project provides housemates with:

• Their own room in a shared house for a low rent (this includes bills) and the use of a communal kitchen and computer.
• Support with access to training and apprenticeships to help them get back into work;
• A dedicated support worker to help them to set their job goals, get ‘work ready’ and pursue recruitment opportunities; and
• Access to a social enterprise scheme, building experience and skills through Aspire’s enterprise businesses in grounds and property maintenance across Oxfordshire.

To help them settle in, housemates are also given a decorating pack so they can make their bedrooms homely. If they would like to take on any DIY in the home, we will also help by providing tools and a skilled tutor to help them.
