Hostel
The hostel provides safe accommodation for 19 homeless single young people, aged 16 to 21 on an emergency and medium-stay basis. All bedrooms are single and en-suite with modern and comfortable furniture. We provide breakfast for residents and there are facilities available to cook throughout the day.
The length of stay at the hostel is dependent on the needs of the individual, but can be up to 12 months.
Upon arriving at the hostel, residents are assigned a staff member called a ‘key worker’ who works with them. Together they then produce a ‘Strength based approach’ assessment, which identifies where the young person might need support and what they would like to achieve.
While at the hostel, residents are given opportunities to learn life skills to improve their independence, gain employment or training opportunities and improve their confidence and self-esteem.
Our key workers deliver life-skills sessions to provide young people with the skills and knowledge necessary to maintain their own tenancy and meet specific goals outlined in their goals and future plans.
Number 11
Adjacent to the hostel, Roundabout has 5 self-contained flats, providing a home for 8 young people.
Residents have the same ‘key work’ and support provision as residents in the core hostel, but they will have started or are working towards some form of education, training or employment.
The young people in these flats are working towards living independently and the flats are a ‘stepping stone’ to moving on and to their own tenancy, helping to break the cycle of homelessness.
