Youth AIMS...

...provides Advice and Advocacy, Information, Mediation and Support for those aged 16-25 who are homeless or threatened with homelessness.

How can we help?

We offer a free, confidential drop-in service based at 36 Crimea Road, Aldershot, near the centre of town. We're here to provide support and advice for anyone aged 16-25 on a whole range of issues relating to accommodation and homelessness. We are here to listen and we really can help you on issues such as:

  • Some of Youth AIMS staff outside the offices

    Accommodation and Housing

  • Employment

  • Benefits

  • Education & Training

  • Justice and Equality

  • Health Services

  • Drugs and Alcohol

  • Family and Relationships

  • Mediation

  • Counselling

  • Form filling and correspondence

  • Debts & money management

  • Domestic Violence

How does it work?

You can just drop in to our offices at 36 Crimea Road any time between 9.00am and 4.00pm, Mondays to Fridays, or contact us by email or telephone (see below) to make an appointment.

You will be able to talk to a member of the Youth AIMS staff, who are qualified Youth Workers with a wealth of experience in offering support, advice and guidance to young people and dealing with crisis situations.

You will be able to discuss anything for which you feel you need support, such as relationships, families, drug
or alcohol use, sexuality, stress, school, bullying, or other anxieties. The staff will be non-judgemental, non-critical and fully supportive in trying to meet your needs

If we don't feel we can meet your needs, you may be referred to another organisation or group for support or advice. This is quite normal because we want you to be able to get the best support we can find for you.

We accept self-referrals and also referrals from:

  • Family and friends

  • General Practitioners (GPs) and other health practitioners

  • Schools, colleges or other education & training providers

  • Youth Offending Teams (YOTs)
