Amber provides a safe temporary place to live for young people who are experiencing homelessness, mental ill health and unemployment. We help them to address any issues they may have, and provide practical and emotional support helping young people transform their lives.  We focus on employment, living independently, health & wellbeing and personal development.

122,000 young people face homelessness every year in the UK and once homeless it can be very difficult to find a job and move back into accommodation.  Amber provides a safe structured environment at four residential centres in Surrey, Kent, Devon and Wiltshire where young people are given the time, space and support to sort out their problems and re-build their lives.  The ultimate aim is to equip young people to find direction in life, work, accommodation and a sense of their own self-worth in the community, allowing them to move back into employment, education or training.

Being residential is key, providing a supportive and encouraging environment with structure and boundaries, positive peer support and practical activities so young people can overcome their problems and feel valued and motivated as they work at turning their lives around – and every year 70- 80% successfully do so.
