Aberdeen Foyer

Aberdeen Foyer is a charitable organisation supporting over 2300 people a year in North East Scotland towards independent living, learning and work.  

We exist to create positive and lasting change working alongside people experiencing tough life challenges and the wider system to address and prevent the root causes of poverty and youth homelessness across local communities in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire.  We do this by delivering joined up services offering supported housing, learning, training, counselling, employment support and health improvement initiatives for young people and adults.

We believe there is no limit to what people can achieve in their lives and are proud of the amazing changes people make every day.  

Our vision is for people to thrive, feel connected and included in their community, where everyone has a safe, decent place to call home and access to resources to live a good life. 

Our mission every day is to support people discover their potential, overcome challenges, and shape their own positive future.
