The Charity, all Volunteers no paid Executive, established in 1989, accommodated young people from two Official poverty area’s; being very vulnerable with no-where to go but the streets, no help, no support or guidance. Charity Trustees opened their own homes to accommodate the teenagers for three or four months, after which time over 85% returned home having gained employment. When demand outstripped supply the Charity had to change; this meant helping just females and finding alternative accommodation. We are now in the final phase of the refurbishment of a ten bedded accommodation and related issues facility, for which we have had to use the methods to prepare what will stand as a very good example of what can be achieved when finances are not available. Project end goals of the young women, whether pregnant or not; will be living their lives with a different perspective on what they can achieve for their future. By helping them through budgeting wise use of the Internet, magazines and word of mouth on how to obtain resources and have needs met without having to get into debt, there by breaking habits passed down through the generations. Showing how even in an economic downturn they can enjoy surviving in a more astute manner that will not only produce greater confidence, motivation and innovation, it will establish new values within many areas of their young lives.
