What we offer
A safe and supportive place
Smitham Downs Road has six individual bedrooms in the main house and one in a self-contained annexe. The home has been designed with input from our autism-qualified Psychologist. The environment is autism friendly in terms of layout, facilities, decor and furnishings. Individuals can access communal space, including a large kitchen, lounge, dining room, sensory room, laundry room and large sensory garden.
The property is a large detached house situated in Purley, South London. The home is a short walk from a wide range of community facilities, and there are good train and bus links into Central London and nearby Croydon and Sutton.
We’re not just participants. We’re planners, presenters, and leaders.
