The Basement Project

The Basement Project is a small, local charity that supports young people up to the age of 25 at risk of becoming homeless, who are homeless, or who are in crisis. The support we offer is free, non-judgemental and centred around the needs of each individual. We offer a drop in service; floating support, when we go out and support young people in their own homes; mediation to re build relationships; counselling from a qualified counsellor and a food bank, offering toiletries and home starter packs where needed.
