To enable young people facing homelessness to sustain accommodation by equipping them to live independent lives.
by Franny McGrath in Perth, Scotland, United Kingdom
YMCA Tayside engages over 800 individual young people each year. Over the past 3 years we have repurposed the old St Andrews and St Stephens church in Perth City Centre into a state of the art youth centre with 7 adjoining flats that will accommodate 9 young people with wrap around support, this support will include personal finance courses, wellbeing sessions and employability provision. Our overall aim is to equip homeless young people to be able to maintain and sustain independent lifestyles.
