Support/ Donations to Services We are providing support to young people to gain life skills which enables them to maintain their tenancies with us and move on into their own accommodation when they are ready. This service has been developed in partnership with North Somerset Council Social Services Some of our young people are unable to stay living in their parental home due to family breakdown or because of safeguarding concerns. Some of our young people are Care Leavers and have been in Foster Care and upon reaching 16 come to stay with us for continued support before moving out into their own independent housing. The service is provides Staff who are available 24/7 to offer support and aim to make our young people feel welcome, included and involved in activities both in and out of the house. The Salvation army Housing Association have 3 houses. Graham House Annexe is 10 beds shared house which accommodates and support young people who are homeless. Margaret House (8 self- contained flats) Margaret House provides accommodation and support for young mums and their babies who have been made homeless. Clevedon Houses are 3 & 4 bedrooms Supporting Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children. These young people have come from a variety of countries sometimes fleeing unrest in their country and often trafficked here to what they and their families believe will be a safer option for them. With all of our support we can improve the hope for better life.

YMCA Dulverton Group offer a range of services and support to the communities we serve in Weston-super-Mare, Bridgwater and West Somerset. Young people are at our core. We believe in young people and we believe in creating transformational communities in which they can truly belong, contribute and thrive. Our services include accommodation, family work and health and well-being. We also have a training and education service in which we provide training and apprenticeship opportunities to the young people and communities that we support. These apprenticeships offer that little bit extra experience needed to complete a CV or to build upon the skills they already have.

As part of the Community Fridge Network, Fridge of Free Stuff is in the centre of Weston-Super-Mare and has saved over 27 tonnes of CO2e so far. The primary purpose is to reduce food waste by providing a location which enables retail business, restaurants and supermarkets to share surplus food that is edible and would otherwise go to waste through incineration or landfill. The fridge network is designed to combat the effects of climate change. The project receives ongoing funding from North Somerset Council, Weston Town Council and some grants and is based within the Sovereign Centre. The project is largely volunteer-led and supported by a volunteer rota but overseen by Weston Town Council, who co-ordinate the volunteers, retail supplies and monitor it's success. The other partner agencies include the For All Healthy Living Company and Weston Helping People who contribute, in kind, resources such as volunteering processes, media support and legal holding of licence to occupy.
