Leybourne

About Us

Leybourne is situated in the quiet residential area of Killingworth, providing plenty of opportunities to build a network of relationships and inclusion within the local community.

Outcomes are focused on reaching a person’s full potential, achieving goals, aspirations and each person living the life they choose whilst developing skills in self-management, independent living, social interaction, communication, self-esteem and confidence. The age range of adults living at Leybourne is currently between 19 and 25 and all accommodation is single occupancy with ensuite bathrooms.

Living with Us

We offer a fully modernised, young and vibrant accommodation for 8 individuals with each bedroom fitted with an en-suite shower. An open plan living area provides a spacious environment, with access to a sensory room. We also have a large summerhouse in the garden to have BBQ’s, parties or to enjoy some peace and quiet. This provides residents with plenty of opportunities to entertain guests or have privacy.

We have a chill out area which is home to “The Leybourne Arms” where lots of parties and events are held with everyone who lives at Leybourne, their friends and families (Covid allowing). The communal kitchen provides ample space to support with the development of individual living skills, while there are two fully-assisted communal bathrooms where one includes a jacuzzi, Bluetooth function and sensory lights.

Welcome From Our Manager

Allison

I have worked for the Percy Hedley Foundation for over four years at Leybourne and I am hugely proud of the young people we support and the staff team. There is huge feeling of dedication at Leybourne to ensure our young people live the life they choose without barriers, anything is achievable and we will go the extra mile to make sure it happens!!

I have worked in health and social care for 25 years, beginning my career with private providers then the NHS and Local Authority. I have worked with people with disabilities throughout my life, including complex needs, acquired brain injury, forensics, challenging behaviour and with families in crisis.

I live locally and Percy Hedley has always been at the heart of the community, it is an honour to be part of the Foundation.
