Making a difference

In our young peoples services our aim is to:  

  • Provide friendly, welcoming and non-judgmental homes for young people to live in for a set period.
  • Inspire young people to succeed, introduce life skills and encourage them to take responsibility for achieving their goals.
  • Reduce the number of young people cycling through the housing and homelessness system.

Statement of purpose

Our young people’s supported accommodation offers young people and young parents experiencing homelessness a safe nurturing place to live, learn and thrive. We believe every young person should have a safe and secure home.  

We provide a range of supported accommodation for young people aged 16-25 years from emergency accommodation to longer stay accommodation in the South West.  

We believe with the right support and motivation anything is possible.
