Every young person that stays at Amber has their own individual support plan, and takes part in their programme through a tailored approach of support that is asset-based and hands on. Based around the principles of restorative practice, this approach seeks to create positive behaviour change, through a mix of active participation, wider community engagement and a focus on young people taking active responsibility for their own decisions. Their goal is that the young people referred to them will leave having achieved stable accommodation, employment or accessed further education or training.
The LandAid grant will enable the Amber Foundation to renovate and create four additional bed spaces at their supported housing centre in Wiltshire. This will provide young people experiencing homelessness with the welcoming and comfortable space they need to rebuild their lives.
