Shoemaker Court provides low risk, low need, independent living accommodation for up to 16 families between the ages of 18 to 60. It provides a flexible service that supports families to live independently, and provides a temporary home and support for those who may otherwise be in bed and breakfast accommodation or living in other unsuitable accommodation.
