An independent living unit provided support for young people to prepare them for leaving out of home care and taught adolescent state wards life skills through a residential course.
Bevis Marks was a pilot project run by the Department for Community Welfare's Southern Regional Resource Centre for teenage boys it described as 'disturbed'.
According to the 1987 Annual Report of the Department for Community Welfare the Unit was:
'a residential facility for teenage males characterised as verging upon individual independence and for whom other residential options are inappropriate.'
