On 18th September, youth homelessness and housing

On 18th September, youth homelessness and housing leaders came together for the first-ever Connecting Leaders event @rfsklondon 🎉

Phill Kerry, CEO of New Horizons Youth Centre, delivered a powerful talk on "6 Lessons from 6 Years of Mayhem". In the afternoon, Leadership Coach Emily Lomax dove into how to build engaged teams. So here's what leaders said are the signs of a highly engaged workplace:

💬 Commitment & Motivation - teams understand the "why" and feel driven by purpose.
💬 Flow & Natural Engagement - employees feel aligned with and productive in their roles.
💬 Recognition & Value - everyone is seen for who they are and contributions are recognised.
💬 Shared Goals - there is common belief in the organisation’s goals which fuels collective commitment.
💬Empowerment - everyone participates and feels empowered to influence decisions.

What did people say about the day?
🗣 “The most useful part of the day was sharing our thoughts and ideas” - Arlene Walker, Enfield Foyer
🗣 “Phill Kerry was excellent” - Lisa Waring, Centrepoint
🗣️ "Inspiring!" - Jake, Depaul Uk

Massive thank you Phil Kerry @nhyouthcentre and Emily Lomax for speaking.

Shout out to everyone who joined - @centrepointuk @depaul_uk, @ymcafg, @theclocktowersanctuary @ymcalcan @curo_group @mhs_homes @weareconnexus @ymcamiltonkeynes

Today we’re excited to run an event with our par

Today we’re excited to run an event with our partner SNG and their #iwill Youth Network team.

🙌 Our meeting aims to facilitate connection between network members, increase the confidence they have in delivering their work, and support impact growth.

🏋️‍♀️ The session will be about Powering Up Youth, sharing our learnings and facilitating reflection and discussion within the group about how we listen to, involve and share decision making with young people.

🗣️ We'll hear from two young leaders about their experiences and suggestions for how to do this work well.

“We’re so pleased to have partnered with The Foyer Federation on such an impactful strand of The SNG #iwill Fund, our SNG #iwill Youth Network,” said Ellie Cutler, SNG’s #iwill Fund Project Officer.

Foyers are facing an increasingly tough environmen

Foyers are facing an increasingly tough environment amid new regulations, ever-tighter budgets and increasing levels of support required by young people. Through it all, staff continue to deliver high-quality transformational services for young people.

Foyers from our membership responded to our survey in February this year to tell us about their successes, challenges and key learnings. Here’s what our members are most proud of:

☔ “We have continued to provide a high-quality service in a challenging climate.”

🏋️‍♀️ “We have given more power to the young people to make decisions about the Foyer.”

💯 “The staff are still giving 100% to the young people.”

Last year, 136,000 young people were forced to register as homeless with their councils.

That’s why we’re calling on Rushanara Ali, MP for Building Safety and Homelessness, to help end the spiralling crisis of youth homelessness.

Along with more than 140 charities, we’ve written a letter to call on the new government to adopt a cross-departmental strategy to end youth homelessness, and a bolder, youth-specific response.

“Our Foyer has improved aesthetically but it is

“Our Foyer has improved aesthetically but it is much more of a community. Our residents are proud to live at the Foyer and staff are proud to work there.”

After its second year, staff members and young people from Foyers told us about their experiences of the Youth Power Fund – a programme that supports innovation and creativity in sharing power with young people.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Through working together on projects, supporting and leading each other, Youth Power Fund activities increased the opportunities for connections to be made between residents.

🏡 Young people reported meeting people in their building they didn’t really interact with before and often these new connections led to the formation of further projects.

🪴 Activities within the Foyer such as community meals, painting and gardening increased an overall sense of community both between young people and staff members.

“Thanks to the guidance and funding, we've been able to bring together a community of young people who all want to act and make a change in the area that they live and work in,” said one young leader.
