Young people's services

Young people need a home, and support into life, training and work. Some don't have these. We fill the gap.

Shape Housing Association provides housing, support and training to some of the most disadvantaged and vulnerable young people aged 16 to 25 with varying support needs, including care leavers.

This support makes a real difference to their lives. We offer help with emotional problems and practical help, such as:

  • benefit advice and completing claim forms;
  • housing advice;
  • money management;
  • anger management;
  • basic cooking skills; and
  • DIY.

We also work closely with Connexions, The Prince's Trust, City of Bath College, Millennium Volunteers and other agencies to make sure young people have the right services for their needs.

The following reports give information about the impact the service has made (Oct-Dec 2009):
