United Response in Cornwall
United Response can support you at home, in leisure centres, libraries, workplaces, farms and cafes, all across Cornwall.
“United Response has provided 24-hour care for our daughter for the last 17 years. The carers and managers go the extra mile to ensure safe, reliable and personalised care.”

Your life, your choices
Having choice is one of the most important things that makes life good for everyone. This might be small things — like what you eat, what your room looks like or how you spend your free time. But it can also be the really big things, like who supports you and what you’d like to achieve or experience in life.
That’s why when someone is supported by us for the first time, we’ll take time to understand what’s important to them and plan how to make it happen.
Our support in Cornwall
Live somewhere you love
We offer Supported Living in 20 locations across Cornwall. Supported living is often provided in a house shared with 2 or 3 other people, sometimes with overnight support. We’ll work with you and people who know you well to choose how we can help with every day living, staying well, getting to education or employment, and socialising.
We also provide Housing support in Cornwall to disabled people and their families, landlords, local authorities and housing associations. This means we use our expert knowledge to find the right home, make sure everyone is happy, and that the building is safe and well maintained.
Education
Our college in Cornwall offers a modern and flexible twist on post-16 education. Formal classrooms are replaced with small groups or 1:1 learning in relaxed settings near where you live.
With ROC College, you could study:
- Accredited courses including Maths, English and Creative arts
- Independent Living Skills, like budgeting, healthy eating and travel training
- The Employability Pathway will give you a taste of working
- Activity sessions to meet new people and have fun
Supported employment
Our specialist Supported Employment service helps autistic people and people with learning disabilities to get ready for work and find a job.
In Cornwall, we take part in DFN Project Search in partnership with local hospitals, as well as a supported internships with a wide range of employers and a post-16 programme.
“Benji has just proudly accepted an offer of a paid job in a pub. But his employment journey actually began three years ago, giving him plenty of time to develop under the guidance of our job coaches. He achieved valuable work placements in a sweet shop, a leisure centre and a cafe, all whilst gaining his Level 1 Diploma in Employability and Development Skills.”

Skills and wellbeing
Boscawen is United Response’s busy, 40-acre, working farm offering lifelong learning opportunities through work experience, education and supported training.
You can experience hands-on learning in all areas of farm life, including animal care, horticulture, and heritage crafts.
I like checking the sheep and moving them from one field to another. I love the farm, I like learning new things, seeing my friends and getting some exercise.
