Three months into the closure of schools and a lock down for residents at the Homes, we are now ready to slowly start releasing certain restrictions, taking great care to continue safeguarding the safety of the residents and staff.
As challenging as this period was, it served to be a time of reflection and creativity. Residents created artistic projects, spent time baking and cooking, as well as taking a new approach to their studies.
The experience of one of the residents during this period can be found in the following link. In this article, an ex-resident also shared the outcomes of her experience at the Homes and at the Semi-Independent Living Programme offered to residents who turn 18 years.
