  • Transition support for young people

    Until a young person is 18 years old they can receive health and social care support from children’s services. Once someone turns 18 the law says they are an adult. When someone is an adult they can no longer receive children’s health and social care services and so have to get services for adults instead (though in some cases there are some specific exceptions which mean young people can get certain children’s services until they are 25). The eligibility criteria for whether... More

  • Independent Living Support (ILS) Supported Housing Service

    Leicester City Council funds a support service for non-local authority tenants who live in supported housing. These services are for people who fall below the threshold for statutory support. However, these days the council has to spend a lot more money on people who do meet the threshold for care and support. They need help with things like washing, dressing and eating, and staying safe. This is costing more now because there are more older people in the city, more people who need a lot... More

    Fosse Arts is a service valued by many in Leicester. However, the building itself is old, access and parking are limited, and the electrics and specialist pottery facilities in particular require significant investment. Relocating the arts provision, the artists’ studio spaces and the adult learning service classes to another refurbished building may be a wiser investment and provide much better facilities.
