Starts at Home Day celebrates services that work with people to live independent and fulfilling lives, and the importance of having a safe and secure home.
Today we’re sharing more about three of our services, and how they support our customers to settle and flourish in their home and community.
LiveWell at Home
Since 2017, LiveWell at Home has offered short term, high-impact support to people aged 55 and over. We work with people to remain living independently in their much-loved home, to connect with their community, to return home safely following a hospital stay, and/or to improve their health and wellbeing.

Beaufort Project
At the Beaufort Project we support adults with long-term mental health conditions to live independently in their own home. We offer furnished bedsits, flats and houses, one-to-one support from keyworkers, and opportunities to take part in a range of activities.
Our customers can get involved in walking and football groups, art sessions, gardening, looking after the service’s pet chickens, enjoying meals together, and trips – in August, our customers enjoyed a day out to Cleethorpes.
Lister Project
The Lister Project is a warm and welcoming home for people living with mental health conditions. Customers have the independence, security and privacy of their own home, and support throughout their recovery.
We offer a spacious bedroom in one of five houses, shared communal spaces and a beautiful garden, and 24-hour support from our team.
All of our activities are designed to give customers the opportunity to build on their strengths, learn new things, and develop the confidence and skills to live independently. They include healthy cooking, walking groups, volunteering, computer training, and arts and crafts.
We’re recently worked with Maya Productions to offer a 12-week creative participation project at our Lister and Beaufort Project services. In these Moments of Joy sessions, our customers have explored different art forms – including visual arts, poetry and video, making a short film, pieces of art, and zines.
