Support and accommodation

Support offered

24/7 staff onsite. Each young person has an initial assessment and will be allocated a keyworker upon move in. Weekly meetings are a requirement, and each YP will work towards set goals. We offer targeted support around move on, health, financial management and employability/education. Weekly workshops form part of our offer. We have a small gym and music studio on site, and a training room. We focus upon the strengths and talents of our residents and seek to offer opportunities to support them to identify and develop these.
