What is a Foyer?
A home and a new start
A foyer is a place where young people can live and receive support to enable our residents to achieve their goals.
We offer the following support to our residents:
- affordable accommodation for up to two years
- training and support services
- one-to-one mentoring
- job search facilities
- sports, arts and social activities
- help finding your own place to live when you leave the foyer
To live at the foyer a formal agreement with the foyer staff will need to be signed by the resident. This agreement says that you can live at the foyer if you commit to a personalised pogramme of training and support. It also states what to expect from the foyer staff. This aims to help the resident become more independent.
Foyer resident Vivian John, 23 said:
“I know what I need to do to get where I need to be and being at the Foyer has
introduced me to a lot, it’s made me realise I can do anything I put my mind to.”
