Home is where a person can feel safe, secure, happy and comfortable.
It is a place where a person can be themselves and choose how they want to live.
It is a place that is theirs and where they are special.

Devised by young people at Roundabout

Roundabout have been working with young homeless people in Sheffield since 1977. We have an emergency Direct Access hostel, a Dispersed Housing Scheme and are also the lead agency for a city-wide tenancy support scheme (Stencil). Roundabout puts the needs of young people first.

Our Aims

• To support and empower young people who are homeless, to recognise, develop and take advantage of the choices open to them.
• To encourage and assist young people who are home less, to act upon issues that affect them and to participate fully as confident citizens in their communities.
• To provide high-quality, effective and flexible housing, care and support services to meet the diverse needs of young people who are homeless and to develop appropriate new services as those needs change.

Our Values

• We believe that young people have the right and ability to make their own choices.
• We believe that young people have the ability, given the opportunity to make changes to their lives and those of others.
• We believe that young people have the right to and should be treated with respect, honesty and fairness.
• We believe that issues faced by individual young people must be viewed within a wider social, political and cultural context and not as a personal failing.
• We believe it is vital that young people are included fully in the decision making process within Roundabout and the community at large.
