After 25 years the Aberdeen Foyer remain aligned to their founding vision, but in recent years they have also sought to broaden their reach. They aim to move ‘up stream’, to work with younger people to prevent crisis in later years and also work with older people, particularly in moving into employment and in supporting recovery.
With this Grant, the Aberdeen Foyer will be able to enhance and sustain their Nightstop service, creating at least 15 new bedspaces, primarily through a project coordinator post. This Pilot service, commissioned 2022, has shown promise in building a network of community hosts and promoting its distinctive approach across Aberdeen/Aberdeenshire.
