Testimonials

"Through our partnership with Purpose Homes, we have been able to deliver exactly that in Harrogate: a much needed service that is already making a tangible difference. The impact is beginning to show in the way residents are developing greater self advocacy, making more independent decisions, and building responsibility for the life skills required to run their own home. Young people are reporting that they feel happy, settled, and thriving in this environment, which is a powerful testament to the value of the project".

“Purpose Social Homes is always a pleasure to work with. The end product is a testament to Purpose Social Homes. The residents have settled in well. It has given their families their own lives back and protected their loved ones for the future. This is the knock-on effect of getting it right. Everything always got sorted out quickly and efficiently. Despite the project being challenging at times, all the little details have helped residents such as the personalisation of bedrooms and shaving off the corners of the work surfaces etc., a huge amount of detail and thought went into everything. Managing multiple needs on the same scheme was complex but Richard and Shelley’s communication was great. I would highly recommend Purpose Social Homes”.

“I was very impressed with Purpose Social Homes’s project on Brockhurst Road, which provided adults with complex needs a safe, and independent, living space. These properties will play a central and important role in their lives and I can’t think of a nicer place for them to call home".

"This development will provide much-needed SSH accommodation in the North Yorkshire area. The quality of the building and the environment that’s been created will enable the residents to live independently with support on hand 24 hours a day. Thank you to Stephen Smith, Jack Trathen and their team at Construction Dynamics (North) Ltd for delivering this quality building”.

"It has been a pleasure to be involved in this project and seeing our vision come to life. We are delighted the specially adapted property is now ready to welcome two tenants, who have both spent a significant amount of time in hospital. The two individuals now have a place to call home which is tailored to their specific needs and I am very excited for their future at W House, the impact this will have on the two individuals can not be underestimated".

“The work done by Purpose Social Homes was of a high standard and really good communication with Chris so that he was able to keep the relatives and social worker up to date. They were prompt at dealing with snagging issues. Everyone always says Wow when they visit the property. It has a homely feel as there are lots of personal touches even in the communal areas. The home had made a positive impact on the lives of residents”.
Chris Summers

“We are really pleased that with the completion of this scheme, two individuals will no longer need to stay in hospitals and instead will be supported in their own homes in the community. Purpose Social Homes and Inspired Partnership Ltd. have brought their expertise to the project working closely with clinicians, families and important others to get the adaptations just right. We are also pleased that a values-driven housing association – Elim has stepped into this space of specialised supported housing to deliver much-needed accommodation for people with higher level of care needs".

"Rehousing a young man back to the mainland was a true success for this project. The young person is happy in his home and ready to progress with his independence. It is a lovely property, beautiful and looks nice, really impressed by the finish. Purpose Social Homes was responsive as always. There was a huge effort from the whole team, they all went above and beyond."

“Purpose homes are driven to provide a complete service from start to finish of the projects. They provide supportive reassurance to both the person living there, the family, and the provider working with that person. They are inclusive and work hard to ensure that the end product is a homely, safe and secure property for the person moving in. Purpose has worked with us on several homes for people with varying needs and has always been person-centred and meticulous with the details to make the property work.”

“At times, we felt like the project was jinxed as lots went wrong. There were planning issues, funding disputes, changes to nominations and potential void costs, but Purpose Social Homes were helpful as always. Shindy has been really helpful in making sure that there have been funds left and keeps me updated on the funding position. The first tenant to move in is doing very well, and a second young woman can’t wait to leave the hospital and move in, having chosen all the colours for her flat."

“Purpose Social Homes is always learning and improving. Although it has been overwhelming at times for the resident, there is now so much hope and with the compassion and skill of the support team it has been an amazing transformation".

"They couldn’t have done anything any better - it was fantastic. They achieved something that others couldn’t and designed out all problems. The spec is really high. It is smart, clean and functional but looks like a home. The individual was in supported living previously and was triggered by others living with them. Moving in on his own has helped but also the environment has made a difference too, he has not destroyed or damaged anything in the house."

"Everything was tailored to meet the needs of the client. The resident was a very complex young person. Lots of thought into planning. They made it a beautiful bungalow fit for purpose. I had many meetings with Purpose and knew from meeting them that their ‘hearts were in the right place’. They always wanted to know how to resolve issues. Purpose Social Homes has the same vision - all you need is someone to feel safe – and Purpose Social Homes did that."

Purpose Homes acted as real partners moving above and beyond, being flexible and creative to all parties. They offer invaluable advice based upon a solid understanding from years of experience. We now have a high quality and bespoke accommodation offer that we have needed for a long time. Thank you to Purpose Homes."

"Both the client and the family were so impressed with the bungalow and how well it was finished. The specification is perfect and he is just so happy with his new home. We do not have a negative word to say about the building. I just want to say thank you to everyone who helped to make this possible and for the dedication shown to ensure that the bungalow met our client’s needs."
