How We Live

Four Meadows Neighbourhood consists of 6 houses, and 25 adults with support needs share their homes with 2 or 3 live-in volunteer support workers in each house. Others join the houses during the day to provide and coordinate support and assist life-sharing in the houses.

Four Meadows was registered by the CQC in December 2016 and is run by the Lantern Community. Please see CQC’s website for further information.

Supporting Each Other

All of us, both living in, and those who have come to support, are passionate about living together and supporting each other in daily life and the way we relate to each other really matters to us.

We like being in each other’s company and contributing in our own unique ways to our Community. We enjoy creating our daily lives, going out together, sharing meals, meeting up for events and just helping each other. We like sharing our views and hearing what each of us has to say or wishes. 

Whilst learning from each other and respecting our individual preferences, hopes and dreams, participating and feeling able to join in is at the heart of our neighbourhood.
