At AYP, we believe that everyone deserves stability, dignity, and opportunity — regardless of their current circumstances. Our Holistic Support for People who are Homeless and for People who are Unemployed, which will be delivered from the new building in partnership with XXX and local employment and housing organisations, will provide practical, emotional, and skills-based support to help individuals rebuild their lives.
