Our Life Skills programme is designed to assist clients at The Elms hostel to develop the skills and knowledge they need to secure suitable housing, maintain a tenancy and live independently.
How it works
Clients attend the Life Skills course for eight weeks, participating in a cooking session and a classroom session each week.
Cooking sessions involve learning how to prepare healthy, simple and budget-friendly meals, while classroom topics include housing options, moving on, tenancy success and money management.
In a survey of clients who took part in the Life Skills course, 96% reported an improved sense of confidence when it came to managing a tenancy.
