Facilitators work directly with young people, run regular group sessions and help young people develop positive relationship that enables them to live successfully in their homes
Prior to joining the House Project I worked with EDC’s community support team, I was a foster carer for ten years and I am an adoptive parent of two boys.
I have previously supported young people leaving care or who have experienced youth homelessness into their own tenancies in the Glasgow area.
I enjoy working with young people as every day is different and working towards securing positive outcomes for all young people and turning their tenancy into a home.
