Education Service
The first stage in preventing youth homelessness is to equip young people with the knowledge and skills to avert a crisis. All our sessions provide your students with information of where to get help and support, including a take-home leaflet.
Our sessions are interactive, engaging and fun whilst being carefully tailored and structured to complement your curriculum and student need.
“Thank you to you and your team. I had no doubt as to the benefit of this session after speaking to the teachers and students. They have all spoken very highly of how useful and informative these sessions were.”
– Ashlyns School Teacher
