What we do..

Our mission
Friendly advice for a client - is to empower homeless people and those facing adversity to achieve their full potential.

We work with young people aged 16 to 25, (in some cases older than this), through a structured combination of services including accommodation, support, training, and counselling.

We don't just provide emergency accommodation 'to keep people off the streets', but a structured scheme of accommodation and support giving opportunities which can lead to independent living. As clients progress through the scheme, they experience decreasing levels of supervision, but remain fully supported throughout their stay with us.

Learning PC skills at Daylight We also believe that simply providing accommodation isn't enough - young people need to learn vocational and life skills to help them achieve independence, and to enable them to express themselves and find fulfilment. Our training services provide a variety of opportunities to learn these skills in an informal environment, which is often more suitable than the more formal context of school or college.

For those young people who are homeless or threatened with homelessness and who need advice and support we offer Youth AIMS, a free, confidential drop-in service from our building at 36 Crimea Road, Aldershot, near the centre of town. This is run as a partnership with Hampshire County Council Children's Services and Rushmoor Borough Council.

Working in partnership with the Surrey & Borders NHS Foundation Trust, our D'n'A service provides a confidential counselling and support service for those wanting to tackle substance abuse and any housing issues.

To access our services, young people must be referred to us, either by themselves, or by another person, such as a teacher, parent or friend. More details are available here.
