Ambient has won a Support at Home mental health service contract in the London Borough of Bromley.

The 50/50 council and Integrated Care Board funded initial five-year contract runs from October 2024.

Jane Homer, head of business development at Ambient, said: 'This new joint mental health recovery and rehabilitation Support at Home service with the London Borough of Bromley is a key priority for the borough's mental health and wellbeing strategy.

'Many of the people using current services have mental health challenges including depression, schizophrenia and bipolar and this provision is a total transformation of the current model and will allow and facilitate move on and step-down to lower support services.'

Support at Home is an accommodation-based and floating support model helping people maintain independence in their own home, enabling them to move away from reliance on hospitals and residential care support.

Bromley is the largest borough in London with approximately 16% of people with a recognised mental health need. Support at Home will create a single support and housing model across the borough and has been developed in direct consultation and engagement with both mental health professionals and experts by experience.
