Foyle Young People

Foyle Young People is a supported living service for young people aged 16–21. It offers 24/7 accommodation and outreach-based support to young people with a range of needs, including mental ill health, learning disabilities, addictions, risk of homelessness, or those leaving care. The service also provides tailored support for young people with complex needs or at risk of harm.

The service consists of:

• Core accommodation: Six self-contained flats with staff support nearby. Includes communal space and regular individual and group activities (e.g., cinema nights, exercise programmes, day trips).
• Stepdown support: Ongoing care and support to 15 young adults living in their own homes in the local area, typically those transitioning out of core accommodation.
• Asylum support: Individualised care and support for one unaccompanied minor asylum seeker.

The service is centrally located and easily accessible via public transport. All support is person-centred and designed to help young people develop independent living skills and community connections. The services are funded by the Supporting People programme and the Western Health and Social Care Trust.
