Housing
Providing a home and personalised support services for a fresh start in life
We provide safe, low-cost places to live that feel like home and focus on community spirit and togetherness. Our approach to support is based on strengths, and our residents are always at the centre of their own support plans. The support they receive reflects their aspirations to access education, training, employment and volunteering, their future housing needs, and addresses any physical and mental wellbeing needs. Our aim is to empower residents to gain the tools and skills that enable stability, independent living, promising futures, and connection to their communities.
Every young person should have a safe place to live and thrive
Supported accommodation
We provide a safe place for young people aged 18-30 years old to stay for up to 2 years
At George Williams House, we have 39 well maintained and secure rooms with shared or en-suite bathrooms, lounge areas and outdoor space
A home for young people at risk of homelessness with the support they need

Moving on
With our support, young people are able to find and keep their own home
We provide support, guidance and activities for residents to develop their knowledge, understanding and abilities
For us it’s about wellbeing and independence with good physical and mental health

Life Skills
The individual emotional and practical support we give residents helps them access local services, claim benefits, and develop their life skills and resilience
With generous support from Cadent, we help residents develop their skills in energy safety and efficiency, money management and healthy eating
Where needed, we work closely with parents, social workers and personal assistants to provide holistic support

Living well
We provide coaching and support to apply for college, higher education and work so that young people can achieve their goals and ambitions
Our community of residents from different backgrounds have opportunities to make friends, social together and go on the trips and outings we arrange
And there’s plenty of indoor and outdoor shared space to get together at George Williams House

Our outdoor gym for residents, service users and the local community
We’re always working to repair, maintain and improve our accommodation and outdoor spaces, making sure everywhere is safe and secure
We’re happy to talk to Birmingham Children’s Trust, social services, asylum teams, and local colleges. We also accept enquiries from young people and their parents or carers.
As a small, independent charity, we are only able to provide accommodation for young people who are eligible for state benefits and have low-level support needs, as explained in our lettings policy.
