We have a few tools that help you manage rent.

We use PayPal for making rent payments.

 

You don’t need to have a Paypal account for this!

After the first screen that asks for the payment amount, select the button that says “Pay by Debit or Credit Card”. This will bring you to a screen asking for payment details.

Please don’t ignore it if there is a problem with paying your rent.

Please get in touch and discuss whats happening with your support worker (if you’re in stage 1 or 2), or your tenancy worker (if you’re in Exwick, or Sidwell Studios).

If rent has been missed, we will ask you to fill out a rent repayment agreement. This ensures that everyone knows what rent you expect to pay.

This is because as your income from your employment increases, the amount you receive from Housing Benefit decreases.

Please speak with your support worker to find out more about this, and if this applies to you.

The latest episode of 'What's The Tea?' podcast is The latest episode of 'What's The Tea?' podcast is out now on our YouTube channel! ☕

In this episode of What’s The Tea?, Lydia and Andy focus on neurodivergence - what it means, why awareness is increasing, and how people experience conditions such as autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, Tourette’s and sensory processing differences. 

The conversation also looks at practical ways to navigate everyday life, sharing tools and resources that can make things easier, from wellbeing apps to sensory-friendly clothing.

As always, the episode rounds off with some unusual news stories - including a mystery wedding guest at the wrong venue and Chinese toilets that only dispense paper after you watch an advert.
