Whitehaven Hostel (360G-landaid-20171835)

Funding Organization
£27,840
Recipient Organization

11 bedrooms for Supported Accommodation. Closed in June 2016 due to changes in council funding, we reopened the hostel in December 2017 owing to increased demand. The project will support vulnerable young people aged 16-24 years with complex needs, to enable them to move on into permanent, stable accommodation; taking with them the skills and knowledge required for living independently and successfully managing their own tenancy. The support staff will deliver core group activities such as Budgeting, House-keeping, Healthy eating, Basic DIY, Health & Safety, Fire Prevention, Personal Safety, Positive Risk Taking and Careers and Training Advice. Funding would enable us to create a further 1 bedrooms and bathrooms, alongside other necessary refurbishment work.
