Welcome to Support Solutions:

We are an established national Consultancy, Revenue, Coaching and Training Agency with a track record approaching 20 years. We are acknowledged experts in the Personalisation agenda, Local Area Agreements, Supporting People and Tendering and Procurement. As you would expect we have an excellent working knowledge of the entire "territory" of housing related support and social care. We are aware of the fundamental change taking place within the sector and are focussing on work with providers and commissioners of services for vulnerable people which helps them to adjust to the new operating environment.

Support Solutions has developed strong values and beliefs which motivate what we do. We now influence the social policy agenda at national level because we disseminate high quality research and information throughout the sector and to national and local statutory authorities. Furthermore, we do this for FREE, primarily through our highly regarded Briefing. Our thinking is received and used by clients, colleagues, local and national government, competitors and imitators alike

Support Solutions can legitimately claim to combine both national recognition and reputation with personalised and individual attention to the needs of our clients. This is what defines us and sets us apart.

Revenue Optimisation
We have unrivalled expertise nationally in optimising revenue. We work with many of the most significant RSLs in the UK. We increase Housing Benefit levels on a "no increase, no fee" basis. Local Area Agreements mean that optimisng other revenue streams will be just as important.
