SIG Penrose provides supported accommodation for individuals identified within the Personality Difficulty Pathway.
Our male-only OPD Housing and Accommodation Services across two sites are designed to support the OPD Pathway across London. Services provide high-support residential specialist housing and accommodation to men meeting specific criteria for being released from prison, secure healthcare settings, or moving on from approved premises.
Services support residents in moving on to independent living to live healthy, fulfilled lives where crime is no longer an option.
Staffed 24 hours a day, SIG Penrose provides supported accommodation for 12 men, offering private rooms and access to communal spaces, including a garden. Services provide a safe, enabling environment and a psychologically informed approach to resettlement, with both sites achieving the Enabling Environments Award, which recognises healthy psychological environments.
We offer weekly Support Worker sessions, group interventions and activities to help develop living skills, promote social inclusion, and build confidence and positive community links. Residents can focus on their goals and personal development with support from service staff working with Probation Practitioners and external partners.
