How do I get support at St Barnabas Road?

Aged between 16 and 21? Homeless or about to be? Then we might be able to help…

Roundabout has 15 bedspaces in its hostel at St Barnabas Road and, provided that you meet our criteria, there could be a place for you.

We don’t operate a waiting list so if there is a space available then you can move in straight away. You don’t need a worker to call for you – you can either give us a ring (0114 2589829) or knock on the door, we’re open 24 hours a day.

How does the scheme work?

In a relaxed and homely environment, we’ll support you to achieve your goals. You’ll be appointed a member of staff to work with you individually and you’ll be offered weekly key work sessions where we can look at any issues you may be facing and how we can deal with them in partnership.

In addition to this, we also offer a comprehensive training programme around a variety of subjects such as budgeting skills and healthy eating for example – as well as regular activities such as swimming or going to the gym.

None of it is compulsory, but to get the best result for yourself you’ll need to be working with us as the length of stay is six weeks. If you’ve shown yourself to be motivated and engaging with our services then there is a chance you could move ‘upstairs’ to our longer term bedsit accommodation; you can stay there for up to six months and you’ll be moving towards getting your own independent tenancy.

We pride ourselves on giving young people a voice and you’ll get to have a choice and a chance to voice your opinion in just about everything regarding the hostel and how its run. We believe in giving you the opportunity to shape the service to your needs.

St Barnabas Road, not just a hostel.
