Families living in temporary unsuitable accommodation figure highly amongst groups who are socially excluded in our society. Our project exists to support and assist families and children trying to cope with housing stress and manage their lives in very difficult and wide-ranging circumstances.

Situation
We work with families who are homeless, those living in temporary accommodation and families who are occupying unsuitable housing. Many of the children and young people (c&yp) living in these circumstances are faced with various other challenges, such as social stigma, housing stress and anxiety. C&yp often lack the space and resources to play, explore and even complete homework tasks.
Solution
Our setting provides an opportunity for c&yp to learn through play in a friendly, warm, safe and stimulating environment. The aims of our sessions are to ensure children aged 1-16 are given the opportunity to access resources to develop their language, communication, social, emotional and physical skills. We support c&yp to gain the skills and confidence they need. We also provide resources to complete homework and school projects.
