Parashoot
Parashoot is a free support service for people who need assistance to remain in their own homes. It is available to single people, couples and families from all communities, including people with mental health, alcohol or drug problems.
Parashoot's Housing Support Officers provide support to customers either through weekly visits, and telephone advice.
Parashoot provides a 'floating' support service, which means it gives immediate support that lasts for a maximum of six months.
Who is eligible for this service?
The service is open to anyone who lives in East Surrey. There are different services available to those living in other parts of the county. We also support people who are currently homeless and need access to accommodation.
This is not support that is tied to particular accommodation, we support people wherever they live.
Although Parashoot has been set up as a joint venture by Raven Housing Trust and Prospect Housing, you don’t need to live in a home owned and managed by either of those organisations to be eligible for support.
Who is behind Parashoot?
Parashoot was formed in 2010 as a partnership between Raven Housing Trust and Prospect Housing and Support Services, to provide housing support to people living in East Surrey (Mole Valley, Epsom & Ewell, Reigate & Banstead and Tandridge). Both organisations are Charitable Industrial Provident Societies registered with the Financial Services Authority.
The service came about when Surreys’ Supporting People restructured its generic floating support and Surrey was split into three areas (North, East and West). Existing support providers were asked to tender for the new floating support service in each area. Parashoot was successful in the East area.
