Consensus Impact Report 2023-24

Burnley, Lancashire

The Woodlands.

Langold, Worksop

Dyscarr Grange.

This beautiful new-build service offers 8 purpose-built luxury apartments that enable the people we support to lead happy and fulfilling lives. What made this project particularly special is that several of the people who now live here were able to visit the site whilst it was still in construction. Donning their hard hats, and exploring what would soon be their new home helped to create a settled and enjoyable transition into the next stage of their lives.

Dyscarr Grange is a newly renovated apartment complex nestled in the heart of the village of Langold, ready to support people with learning disabilities, autism and complex needs in their new luxury apartments. When the service opened and the winter months arrived, the outside space looked ready for some love. So once spring had sprung, the team and those who live at Dyscarr Grange set to work on transforming their garden ready for the annual Consensus in Bloom 2024 competition (which they’re quietly confident they’ll win). From planting onions, freesias and pumpkins, to painting wood offcuts to displaying their creativity and artwork outdoors - it’s going to look fabulous!

The team at The Woodlands pride themselves on their passion and commitment to supporting each individual based on their wants, needs and aspirations. Whatever the goal, big or small, The Woodlands team are here to make it happen – and loving every minute of doing so.

6 Self-Contained Apartments

As a new service, it’s important to create an environment where everyone feels confident and comfortable in getting to know those around them - so the leadership at Dyscarr Grange organised a Taskmaster BBQ filled with games and fun activities that helped get to know each other. Everyone had a great time eating together, laughing and joining in the fun - demonstrating what a great environment Dyscarr Grange is and will be for those lucky enough to call this home.

Living His Best Life.

Colne, Lancashire

Colne Bungalows.

David has always had dreams, the most important of all being a trip to Turf Moor to watch Burnley play (and win!). But having lived in a secure hospital setting for over four decades, dreams were all they were, until he stepped foot inside his forever home at Consensus. Meeting the team and planning the move in advance, his new apartment was decorated with his beloved claret and blue, meaning move-in day was smiles all round – ready and raring to go bring those dreams to life. David has fully embraced this new chapter of his life , and is enjoying gaining independence and learning new skills. And his mantra since moving into his new apartment? “I’m living my best life.”

Colne bungalows is a beautiful complex of individual bungalows in Lancashire, offering people the chance for maximum independence as they enjoy living life in their very own home. These dormer bungalows have a beautiful downstairs open plan kitchen and living space, with a bedroom and bathroom upstairs. The team are here to support 24 hours a day, helping people develop life skills, gain confidence, and achieve their goals and aspirations. Whether it’s the important everyday tasks such as financial budgeting and self-administering medication, or whether it’s making amazing dreams come true. The team at Colne Bungalows say that the sky truly is the limit.
