We are proud to present a newly built short break service on Leyton Green Road called Lester House.

It is designed and equipped to fit the needs of young people with mild to severe disabilities and learning difficulties.

Lester House virtual tour

The new site, situated at Lester House is available to give those aged 8 to 17 the chance to experience a range of fun activities, exciting opportunities and the chance to interact with their peers and our experienced staff. 

We provide both afterschool, overnight and day care schemes, 7 days a week, to help support our service users and their families and provide them with a well-deserved break from the regular care arrangement.

Our new facility also has a dedicated unit for up to three young people to live with us on a medium to long term basis in a fully accessible yet homely setting with full access to all the specialist facilities at Lester House

You can be confident that your child will enjoy their time at Lester House, while being supported and cared for by our experienced specialist staff.

As a brand new building, our Ofsted registration is new, but our team, approach and ethos have come with us from our old site where Ofsted graded us Good
