Westminster is one of the most central boroughs of London full of history and culture.
Our KeyRing Support Network is based in Maida Vale. Located mainly in the City of Westminster, with parts overlapping into the London Borough of Camden, Maida Vale is situated north of Paddington in West London, between St John's Wood and Kilburn.
In Westminster, we currently have one network which is supported by Community Living Volunteer – a volunteer who lives in the area and knows the area well.
We focus on all that you can do
We support people with Learning Disabilities to achieve what they never thought is possible by awakening their inner potential.
By having an individual approach, we are focussing on what you can do.
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.
We enable you to recognise your skills and explore what you want to achieve. Our focus is on helping you to become independent and more connected with your community. You, along with your KeyRing Community Volunteer, therefore co-produce an action plan which details your specific goals (both short and long-term), actions needed and more.
We provide flexible support
Our flexible approach allows us to give more time to you when you need it most (support to hospital appointments, benefit assessments, Jobcentre appointments, etc.). It also supports the steady transition and progress to more independence while being connected to your local community throughout the whole process.
You can’t wait for your support day to experience crisis. Nor can you always fit your issues into your allocated support hours. Therefore, our connected approach, with peers, volunteers, and staff, means we can allow for the ups and downs of your life.
