   WELCOME TO AVONHEAD ROAD

Number 64 Avonhead Road is situated on the corner of Avonhead Road and Jemmel Place, right across the road from Avonhead Primary School.

 

We are a large single story white wooden dwelling to which the Trust has added a wing containing four individual bedrooms enabling eight people to live here, and a stand alone studio unit of two separate bedrooms.  In all ten people call Avonhead their home.

 

We have a lovely garden with a huge big London plane tree surrounded by a wooden deck, where we BBQ when the weather is fine.

 

Each resident has their own room and these have been personalised according to taste.

 

All the guys attend work placements and have a wide and varied social life.

 

The philosophy of the house is "We are here to work alongside, not for" this philosphy has worked well with all the guys contributing to the daily running of their home. 

 

We have a great group of parents who are fully supportive of all that we do.

 

Avonhead is a very relaxed and fun place to live and to work.

 

 

 

 

We are very lucky, we have a rather large spa bath with a hoist.

 

A number of the guys use this either as a therapeutic aid or just for the fun and enjoyment of it.

 

 

Two of the residents live semi-indepentantly in the studio.

 

Both have their own rooms.

 

There is a bathroom, lounge and kitchen where the two guys make breakfast and cups of tea/coffee for their guests.

 

 

We have two lounges in the main house. 

 

A quiet lounge where we have a very nice fish tank and where people can go to have a few moments quiet time.

 

The other lounge is where our T.V is.  This lounge, as you can imagine is the social 'hub' of the house.
