East Potential

Foyers

At East Potential, we aren’t in the business of providing traditional accommodation for homeless young people.

Our foyers are locally-focused, partnership projects aimed at tackling social exclusion amongst 16 to 24-year-olds.

About our Foyers Understand the work of a foyer, the journey taken to complete a foyer programme and how we pick foyer residents.		Building a Foyer Understand what goes into designing a foyer, the building process and how we deliver our foyers.		Time for Youth Time for Youth is an intensive support service for young people living in east London and Essex.		How to Refer In all our foyer areas, we use specialist referral agencies as the first filter in our assessment process.
