Through the Lens: Lily's House

Based in North London, we deliver a structured and relational model of semi independent living designed to promote stability, skill-building, and a positive  pathway into adulthood.  

We understand the complexity of transition planning, and we approach this with a  commitment to clarity, consistency, and coordination. Our team provides 24/7 onsite  presence and high-quality support underpinned by safeguarding, accountability, and  strong interagency working.  

We are registered under the Supported Accommodation (England) Regulations 2023,  and all practice is aligned with the Quality Standards for Supported Accommodation,  ensuring that young people benefit from an environment that is not only safe and  welcoming but also goal-oriented and regulated.

 Lily Supports provides registered accommodation for young people aged 16 and  over who require structured, semi-independent living as part of their transition  into adulthood.  

We accept referrals for young people who:  

• Are unsuitable for foster care  
• Are in care or have left care  
• Are moving on from foster or residential placements  
• Are unable to live at home or are at risk of homelessness  
• Are not in education, employment, or training  
• Are subject to youth justice, safeguarding, or multi-agency plans  
• Would benefit from support with routines, boundaries, and life skills  
• Are expectant or young parents unsuitable for foster care  

Each referral is considered individually to ensure that the young person’s needs  align with our service model and that they can be safely and positively integrated  into the household.  

Young people referred to Lily Supports may present with a wide range of  safeguarding concerns that require coordinated, multi-agency responses  including:  

• Risk of going missing or running away  
• Criminal exploitation or county lines involvement  
• Radicalisation concerns (Prevent)  
• Domestic or peer-related abuse  Risk of grooming, sexual exploitation or coercion  
• Forced marriage or honour-based pressure  
• Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) risk  
• Substance misuse or criminal coercion  
• Online exploitation and grooming risks  
• Association with gang-affiliated peers or high-risk networks  
• Support planning for young people who are pregnant or parenting  

All safeguarding issues are managed in line with  Working Together to Safeguard Children (2018)  and the Supported Accommodation (England) Regulations 2023
