Hammersley Homes

Lymington based charity supporting vulnerable adults living with enduring mental ill-health

Hammersley Homes is on a terrific mission, to provide support for life for the enormous number of adults living with long term mental distress: typically living alone, or with family whose own lives are impacted and who one day won’t be there for them. Some are homeless. They're often without friends or a sense of community or purpose – vital elements of our general wellbeing.

Our Outreach Programme offers support to people referred to us by local Community Mental Health Teams, help with daily tasks they may be struggling with, including money management & budgeting, dealing with incoming mail, food & nutrition, or simply playing a game or going for a walk or a coffee.  Our clients are encouraged to engage in community activities to enrich their lives, the aim being to keep them safe, amongst friends and reduce the crises which so often result from loneliness, misunderstanding and frustration.

Safety, security, comfort and friendship for people living with enduring mental ill-health.

Established in 2018 in Lymington, Hammersley Homes is a local charity with a big mission: to provide support for life, for adults suffering from enduring mental illness.  Currently through our Outreach Programme, and eventually with Day Centres and fully Supported Homes for life, we work with our clients to support them to live their best life.

Following the introduction of the “Care in the Community” initiative in the 1980’s, many of the residences, homes and hospital wards which used to accommodate adults who suffered from enduring mental illness were closed, and the closures continue.

Now, all too frequently, these unfortunate and vulnerable people live alone, often confused and unable to manage; or they are homeless; or live with family who one day won’t be there for them. They live too often without friends or a sense of community, a sense of purpose – things we all need for our general wellbeing.

Hammersley Homes aims to provide long-term supported homes for this vulnerable sector, reducing their loneliness by giving them a fylly supported safe and secure home for life, a community to live in with friends, and bring some fun, meaning and purpose back into their lives.

Living in a Hammersley Homes community will introduce safety, security, routine and purpose to their lives, and keep them occupied and entertained.
