Due to unforeseen circumstances, Chris had to leave his home of twenty years and find a new home at the end of 2025. Within a few weeks, Chris and his support team had sourced new accommodation with another person supported by Natural Breaks.

Overcoming Challenges

Despite a few bumps in the road, Chris and his support team worked together, alongside Liverpool City Council and Onward Housing, to secure his support hours and his new ‘forever home! (which meets all his current and future health needs)– all whilst organising and packing, to make sure the house move was as smooth and stress-free as possible. In the weeks leading up to the move, Chris’ support team dedicated time to paint his bedroom and check everything off the to-do list before welcoming him into his new home. This also included regular visits to the property, giving Chris the opportunity to familiarise himself with his new home and also his new house mate whom he will be living alongside.

Chris' First Week

Since moving in, the days have been incredibly busy, from building furniture to deciding where to store all of Chris’ belongings. Nevertheless, he is settling comfortably into his new home, getting to know his new housemate more and learning to navigate a shared house.

Two of Chris’ favourite things about his home are the close transport links, which mean he can travel around the city easily, and the garden, something he never had at his last property. And we can’t forget his new recliner chair that has pride of place in the living room and which he loves to settle into.

Looking to the future

We all wish Chris the very best in his new home and can’t wait for him to host a party in the upcoming months, once the weather begins to heat up. Chris is excited to finally have the space to entertain friends and family, and can’t wait to make new memories.
