The organisation offers affordable modest apartment living- bachelor apartment style; in a community orientated, safe, secure and supported environment.
Community activities are encourage and facilitated by the inclusion of a community garden, lounges and a community kitchen/workshop hub within the development.
The organisation encourages young people to engage with their community and reward engagement efforts by offering active community members the opportunity to be ‘promoted to penthouse living’.
The organisation provides a variety of individual ‘support interventions’ for its inhabitants on an as required basis. WPRC can engage with and provide support for these young people in a number of ways. e.g learner drivers, job skills, life skills etc. The organisation create a ‘skills pool’ from interested volunteers, calling on these volunteers as and when individuals in their community require ‘support interventions’.
Zoe, The Foyer’s Volunteer Community Support Co-Ordinator will facilitate an information session and workshop for the WPRC members to canvas our “interests and skills’ for inclusion into their “skills bank”.
Watch this space for the date and time of the workshop so you can participate and offer your support in developing strong connections with this worthwhile community initiative in support of our young people.
