SSP appointed to deliver TAYPAS support and accommodation service in Rochdale

Posted: 27 October 2026 3:12 pm.

Stepping Stone Projects (SSP) has been successfully appointed to deliver the TAYPAS support and accommodation service in Rochdale, creating 28 high-quality homes for young people who need them most.

TAYPAS is a specialist supported accommodation service for young people who have experienced rough sleeping, are at risk of rough sleeping, or whose needs can’t be met through existing pathways. SSP will deliver the service across three accommodation sites, alongside its current Saxonside project.

The 28 homes are all newly built or refurbished to a high standard, and will combine safe, stable accommodation with specialist support to help young people build skills, confidence and independence.

The appointment follows three years of work co-designing a model with partners that delivers measurable and long-lasting impact for young people through a combination of accommodation and specialist support.

“The news is extremely welcome and represents three years’ worth of work in co designing a model that provides measurable and long lasting impacts to young people through a combination of accommodation and specialist support” Liz Varey, Asisstant Director of Operations.

The Rochdale team will be led by Richard Craven and Amy Noble, who are now preparing to open the homes and welcome residents as soon as possible.

Join the team

SSP will shortly begin recruiting for additional roles to join its existing team of Social Inclusion Workers in Rochdale. Vacancies will be advertised on the SSP website and social media channels. Careers at Stepping Stone Projects - Stepping Stone Careers
