The YMCA is the England's largest provider of Foyer accommodation.
Foyers link safe and affordable accommodation, specifically for homeless and disadvantaged people aged 16 to 25, with opportunities to access education, training and employment.
YMCA Foyers aim to provide residents with access to a range of activities necessary for 'holistic' development.
Alongside opportunities such as literacy and numeracy programmes, IT skills and careers advice, Foyers provide life skills and other initiatives like healthy living promotion.
Young people are also encouraged to become involved in sports and social events and take part in volunteer programmes and community projects.
Residents work closely with staff to identify their own personal training and development plan which is reviewed on a regular basis.
