About this location
Veron Park is a supported living service, offering support for eight people who are on the autism spectrum or have a learning disability.
We are located in St John’s, a small suburb of Worcester, England, lying west of the city centre and the River Severn. We are situated down a quiet street, around 15 minutes’ walk from the town centre.
The service forms part of Priory Supported Living The Shires, falls within the Worcester County Council local authority area and is managed by the housing provider, Trinity Housing Association. Our specialist team support our tenants to live as independently as possible and enable them to access community activities in a safe way.
At Veron Park, we are committed to reflecting the guidance of The Reach Standards in everything we do. This means we work with our tenants to ensure they receive the right support to help them achieve their goals and reach their full potential.
