Aberdeen Foyer provides housing support for young people aged 16-25 in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire.  This is in the form of supported accommodation in Aberdeen and outreach housing support in Aberdeenshire.

We believe that all young people need a safe home to call home and access to the support and resources to allow them to reach their potential and thrive.

We provide personalised support; acknowledge people’s strengths and talents and we follow the principles of ‘advantaged thinking’ which is our strength based approach. We listen and respond to the hopes and aspirations of young people as they make the universal transition from adolescence to adulthood.

On entering our service, we support young people to develop a personal action plan, taking into account their current circumstances and any challenges they are facing.   Exploring their dreams and aspirations that can help shape their future. The Action Plan might include connecting with learning, training or getting into work, developing life skills and resilience, rebuilding relationships, improving mental health, and working to deepen self-confidence and self-belief.  This is called the Foyer Deal, a something for something agreement which holds both the service and the young person both accountable for their success in achieving their goals and making positive progress in their life. This ‘deal’ empowers young people to take ownership of their future and to make lasting personal and positive change.
