St Georges Islington

The service aims to provide a range of support to people who have or may be experiencing mental health problems to: 

• Foster recovery and rehabilitation 

• Enable people to manage their mental health and wellbeing 

• Support people to lead independent and productive lives in the community.  

We do this by enabling people using our services and ensuring that they: 

• benefit from the service 

• make decisions together  

• respect each other and environment  

• contribute to improving the service  

• use and develop skills and develop social networks 

• lead and influence each person in their own recovery 

• are fully involved in both the service and their own recovery journey 

• recover and/ or develop the skills to feel they can move on to a more independent life 

We provide a service that is underpinned with values that support and focus on recovery and evidence-based practice. 

The service provides short term accommodation and a housing support service for homeless people with mental health needs aged 18 years and over. We provide support to individuals enabling them to better manage their mental health and wellbeing and gain the skills to live independently and move-on to appropriate accommodation. We work with the local authority, private sector and partner agencies to identify and access appropriate move-on accommodation.
