Our KeyRing Support Networks are based in New Cross Gate and Sydenham. There are nine Members in each network.

As a member, you will receive 2 hours of direct 1:1 support per week which is tailored to your individual needs (support to hospital appointments, benefit assessments, Jobcentre appointments, employment opportunities, etc.). Part of this support is to focus on the steady transition and progress to more independence while being connected to your local community. We connect you with other Members of the network and encourage you to share your skills. This is called mutual support. You will develop your skills for independence, link with your local community and be part of a network that supports each other.We currently run two hubs at 2 hours each across Bexley borough but it's not just about the hubs. It's about the activities that you and other Connect Members organise. That could be planning a holiday or exploring volunteer opportunities. It could even be organising a cookery course at the local college. Like the borough our KeyRing Members are lively and diverse. We work with a range of people who have learning difficulties and need support to build their independence. Some of the people we work with also have physical disabilities, mental health issues or a history with the Criminal Justice System. A partnership approach Our focus is on the outcomes that you want to achieve in your life. The fundamental need is for a place where you are safe, in your own home and have an income to support yourself. This is our starting place and from here we work with you on your personal journey. Community Support

This approach consequently allows you to take more control of your daily tasks and activities and therefore allows you to be more spontaneous, independent, empowered and less reliant on services. Hubs are group sessions where you can learn and have fun while getting to know other KeyRing Members. Staff and volunteers are at the Hubs to help out but what happens is up to you! If you need a bit of help to step into your KeyRing Circle Membership, you can join us through the Intensive Membership. You can also add additional hours through KeyRing Extra hours.You will be supported by a locally based Community Enabler who provides direct support with individuals. You can also attend monthly network meetings where members can get together. Access to KeyRing's hubs and social opportunities. You'll decide what you do alongside new friends and connections. We have a tiered Membership level which reflects the needs of the people we support. This ranges from support that is more intensive to ‘Linked In’ Membership for those who just need a drop in service. Lambeth is a diverse and lively borough of London.
