💙We received this lovely photo of Rebecca Davis, Elliot’s sister, presenting at the Supported Living Property Network Conference.

Her story is a powerful reminder that we all need to pull together to co-create community-based discharge solutions, so that people in hospital, and those at risk of admission, can return to their communities and families, where they belong.

📣Commissioners, Social Workers, Healthcare Professionals, People receiving support, and their families!

Your voice has the power to drive real change!

Each day, you witness the reality of care - what works, what stands in the way, and what makes the greatest difference. No policy or report can capture that insight the way you can.

What you share is more than feedback - it is the foundation of change.

Our 2025 White Paper Survey takes just 5-8 minutes, but the impact of your contribution can last for years.

📢Together, we can shape a care system built on compassion, dignity, and lived experience.

Supporting the whole family means taking the time to understand what matters most, offering consistent care, and helping build a sense of stability and reassurance for everyone involved.

In this short video, Elliot’s mum, Christine, shares what the past six months with UCS have meant to them - and how consistent, person-centred support has helped ease some of the pressure at home.

🌟Whether it’s enjoying trips to the Lake District, going for daily drives, or carrying his Star Wars figures in a backpack wherever he goes, Elliot’s journey reminds us that progress is personal, and that small, steady steps can make a big difference.

🫧A calming sensory room is a gentle, low-stimulus space designed to help autistic people self-regulate, relax, and feel safe. Key elements like low lighting, soothing colours, comfortable seating, quiet zones, and calming visuals work together to reduce sensory overload and promote wellbeing.

These spaces are not about aesthetics, they’re about emotional and sensory support, offering personalised ways for people to feel grounded and in control.

We’re also sharing a downloadable PDF with optional enhancements -including ideas like tactile trays, aromatherapy, weighted items, and visual supports, to help create even more tailored, multi-sensory spaces.

“Family and home are really important to Elliot. He likes having a routine and knowing the plan for the day, and relies on times, dates, and his calendar to keep everything organised. Consistency in Elliot’s support is important too, and makes him feel comfortable when he knows the boundaries that are in place.“ – Christine, Elliot’s mother.

Elliot is creative and curious, and has an absolute love for trains and lorries. Trips to the Lake District are something he really enjoys, along with the daily drives in the car. He loves his Star Wars figures, and he carries them around in a huge backpack wherever he goes.

Elliot’s journey encourages us to reflect on what truly matters in care, what we celebrate as progress, and most importantly, how we see the people we support.

What if we stopped asking “What’s wrong?”
And started asking “What matters to you?”

For years, restrictions defined Elliot’s life. But when support shifted to reflect who he is, someone who loves trains, nature, and time with his family - he finally had the chance to live life on his own terms.

“It’s not about control. It’s about trust. It’s about walking beside him, every step of the way.” - Darren Moyle, PBS Practitioner

We’re always encouraging each other to give our best. But it starts with taking care of ourselves.

Taking regular breaks helps us stay grounded, connected, and present in our work.

Sometimes that looks like a walk or a moment of quiet.

Other times, it’s a quick game of table tennis outside.

Whatever it is for you, it matters.
