Aspire Housing and Personal Development Services Limited was established in August 2002.
We are an organisation with a reputation for providing high quality advice, support and development opportunities to children, vulnerable adults including young people, older people and families.
We work in partnership with each individual to help them to develop the knowledge and skills required to manage their day to day life including budgeting, shopping, cooking and eating a balanced diet, housekeeping, maintaining a tenancy and having satisfactory social skills.
The variety of support and development activities which Aspire provides includes care of older people, care at home, addressing mental health needs, working with young people leaving care, children and families. Staff also supports individuals to remain on addiction rehabilitation programmes.
Aspire began by responding to the identified need for housing support services in Glasgow and Dalkeith in Midlothian for individuals and families who had been homeless. Staff support has always focused on equipping individuals with the confidence and skills to run their own lives within their own homes and to contribute to their communities in a positive way.
Services have continually evolved to match the changing needs and aspirations of individuals and families and Aspire now provides a wide range of services in Scotland which are specifically planned around each individual - with the person always at the centre of decision making.
These services focus on identifying and agreeing individual development opportunities and include community outreach services where people are supported in their own homes, residential services, support for managing drug and alcohol issues, providing short term support and accommodation to individuals and families in crisis, short term visiting support and accommodation for individuals who have been homeless, teaching independent living skills to younger people and older people who have been homeless and support for individuals with alcohol related brain disorder and their families.
