Foyers. Arena has three Foyers in management, Coops Foyer in Wigan, Ravenhead in St Helens and Bridge in Chester. Since the first service opened in 1996, Arena Foyers have supported hundreds of young people on their road to independence and gave them a new sense of direction. All of Arenas Foyers were amongst the first in the country to become accredited by the national Foyer Federation, are recognised as a market leader, are current holders of Charter Mark and have received very good Supporting People reviews. Originally introduced from France, 'Foyers' provide young people, aged between 16 and 25, with affordable accommodation, which is linked to training and personal development opportunities. The main aim of a foyer is to help these people bridge the gap between leaving home or local authority care and setting up home on their own. |

Our House Mother & Baby Scheme, is located on the Wirral and offers supported accommodation for young women between the ages of 16 and 25. Six of the 10 individual flats provide homes for young mums or "mums to be", with the remaining four reserved for single young women. The residents come from a variety of backgrounds. Each one is helped by staff to draw up their own personal development plan to address their individual needs. In addition to the ongoing support offered by Our House staff, outside agencies, such as Sure Start, Social Services and health organisations, also work with the residents. |
