The Service

Our Glasgow Road service in Perth is a twenty four hour, seven days a week service with a sleepover requirement, providing communal living for young adults similar to that common in student accommodation, but with the security and support required by those in need of it.

The individuals we support have a mild to moderate learning disability, autism spectrum condition, Asperger’s syndrome, and, or global development delay. With our support they are able to access further education, part time work, volunteering and actively engage in a wide range of community activities.
