Diaspora Lodge Supporting People Limited is a specialised supported living service dedicated to empowering vulnerable adults and those with mental health needs who require assistance to maintain independent living in the community. Our approach centers on the philosophy of “each one teach one” – creating a supportive environment where individuals can learn, grow, and achieve their personal goals.
Our Mission
We are committed to providing high-quality, person-centered support that enables our clients to take control of their lives while living safely within the local community. We believe everyone deserves dignity, respect, and the opportunity to reach their full potential, regardless of the challenges they face.
