What we do..
Our mission
- 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, training, development and counselling.
We don't just provide emergency accommodation 'to keep people off the streets', but a structured scheme of accommodation 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.
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 Youth Development projects 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.
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. |
