Moving into a new home can be an exciting yet daunting prospect for homeless young people. Although a new tenancy is the opportunity to create a stable base from which obstacles and challenges in life can be addressed, it remains true that many new tenancies fail. One of the reasons for this failure is that young people do not have the skills or resources necessary to turn a bare flat into a home.

Fab Pad helps homeless young people turn their new tenancies into homes, by bringing them together with interior designers and artists who are sensitive to their needs. Our work centres on helping young people to unlock their own creative talents and on showing them how to create maximum effect at minimum cost. The end result is a home that they have created themselves. We believe this one significant factor may mean the difference between maintaining and abandoning a tenancy.
