Basement Project

Basement Project is an independent local charity that helps young people under 25 with any issues or problems they are experiencing. The Basement is a safe, secure environment and offers some stability to young people. Our aim is to help people find a home and keep it and to live independently, whilst considering their future. The Basement Project has two main areas of delivery, the Drop-in service, delivered from our main office on Hanover street; and the Floating Support service; where we go out to support young people in their homes and the community. Some of the team work across the two areas to offer support to young people with a wide variety of issues relating to their housing situation such as dealing with possible evictions; prioritising debt; living on a budget; to family mediation and emotional and physical well-being. We offer family mediation, hypnotherapy and counselling support and if we cannot help we will signpost to other services and professionals. We go into schools to talk to groups of students about issues relating to homelessness and relationships as well as offering one to one support.
