Make access to learning for homeless young people a funding priority
Homeless young people have, often for reasons beyond their control, missed out on a significant proportion of their schooling, and lack the necessary qualifications for sustained employment.
Learning is, therefore, integral to the holistic Foyer approach.
It’s not just about formal courses, it’s about giving young people the confidence and the tools they need to cope with living independently, and helping them to move back into mainstream education, training or work.
“The Life skills course was a great experience;
I am now thriving not surviving.”
But funding for these types of learning programmes is very difficult to access.
We are calling on Government to make learning for homeless young people a funding priority for Learning and Skills Councils across the country.
