Our services for young people
We offer support for young people aged between 16 and 25, providing specialist
housing,
support and
advice, as well as opportunities for development and learning, with the aim of enabling young people to lead an independent life.
We provide temporary housing for up to 101 young people in one of our 10 schemes. This can provide a vital respite for a young person who is homeless, in need of guidance and security, or even escaping an abusive situation.
Housing: We offer temporary accommodation for homeless young people, which is made up of a range of rooms in hostels, self-contained partially furnished flats and bedsits. To be eligible for a place, you must have a need for support and need accommodation.
Advice: We are here to provide support and guidance – not to lecture. Our aim is for you to become optimistic about your future, and for you to develop a plan for how to make this happen.
When you leave us, our aim is that you will:
- understand your responsibilities and your rights as a tenant
- be able to manage your own money and live on a budget
- know how to lead a healthy lifestyle
- develop skills to live independently
- be part of your community by making a positive contribution to society and be an active citizen
- be able to make choices about your own life and be able to plan how you will get there
- to ensure you are actively developing and achieving
- to empower you with the knowledge to stay safe
- know how to access services and facilities
