Aberdeen Foyer is a successful charitable organisation and social enterprise tackling the root causes of inequality – homelessness, unemployment, poor health, lack of access to support and opportunities. Since 1995 our services have been designed and delivered with an approach that holds the person at the centre of what we do. At our core we provide supported accommodation to former homeless and at risk young people alongside a range of learning, training, and employment support as well as community health and early intervention services. Our approach recognises that homelessness and disadvantage is not just a matter of providing a home, but necessitates addressing many of the underlying causes and critically providing people with the means of gaining and sustaining employment. This integrated approach allows tenants and programme participants to take the next steps towards independent living, learning and work. www.aberdeenfoyer.com
