Aberdeen Foyer supports people facing homelessness, unemployment, mental health issues and poverty.
The charity believes everyone has a right to a positive future and aims to help people towards education, work and a stable place to live. Its services include housing, training, and counselling support. Be it one-to-one or in groups, the charity has always believed in starting with people’s strengths, to build their confidence, develop their talents and make changes to their lives.
Aberdeen Foyer believes that helping people to move into work makes a positive contribution to their wellbeing as well as that of their families and communities.
Funding from the Youth Action Fund helps the charity take a long-term approach to shaping and designing services that are relevant to, and built on, the needs of young people so they can overcome the barriers they face today. Working in the city of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, the charity supports more than 1600 people a year, with help from The Distillers’ Charity, to secure tenancies, acquire the skills and experience they need for work, and develop positive mental health and wellbeing.
