Based at the Callander Road site, the service provides mixed-gender supported living and specialist community rehabilitation for people across Croydon, Lewisham and Southwark. ICRS has been designed to support individuals as they transition from hospital settings into the community, providing intensive, person-centred support that promotes recovery, independence and long-term wellbeing.

The launch marks an important milestone for SIG Penrose and reflects the strength of partnership working between health and social care organisations. By combining specialist rehabilitation with high-quality supported accommodation, the service will help people develop the skills and confidence needed to move on to more independent living arrangements when they are ready.

The development of ICRS has been made possible through the dedication and collaboration of colleagues across operational, development and central support teams, alongside our partners at SLaM. Their collective efforts have created a service that will make a meaningful difference to people with complex mental health needs.

As the service begins this new chapter, we look forward to supporting residents on their recovery journeys and working alongside partners to deliver positive outcomes across South London.

The launch of ICRS reflects our continued commitment to delivering innovative, community-based mental health support. We are excited to see the positive impact the service will have for residents, local communities and the wider mental health sector in the years ahead.
