Your Service

Fletton Avenue is a bright, busy home supporting people with PWS to live independently and make their own choices about care and the place they live. There’s a focus on positive risk-taking; people are actively involved in planning their meals and being involved in cooking to achieve their health goals and manage their PWS as well as pushing themselves to get out into the community to volunteer or take trips. Everyone is encouraged to keep fit and healthy but have fun; people love sailing, swimming, boccia, and adapted cycling or just a walk to the park together.
