Charities in Sheffield

Roundabout have been working with young homeless people in Sheffield since 1977. We have an emergency Direct Access hostel, a Dispersed Housing Scheme and are also the lead agency for a city-wide tenancy support scheme (Stencil). Roundabout puts the needs of young people first.

Aims

• To support and empower young people who are homeless, to recognise, develop and take advantage of the choices open to them.
• To encourage and assist young people who are home less, to act upon issues that affect them and to participate fully as confident citizens in their communities.
• To provide high-quality, effective and flexible housing, care and support services to meet the diverse needs of young people who are homeless and to develop appropriate new services as those needs change.

Values

• We believe that young people have the right and ability to make their own choices.
• We believe that young people have the ability, given the opportunity to make changes to their lives and those of others.
• We believe that young people have the right to and should be treated with respect, honesty and fairness.
• We believe that issues faced by individual young people must be viewed within a wider social, political and cultural context and not as a personal failing.
• We believe it is vital that young people are included fully in the decision making process within Roundabout and the community at large
