THE FOYER FEDERATION
The Foyer Federation continues to be seen as an organisation that punches above its weight and our focus on innovation has helped us develop relationships and enabled us to demonstrate how the Foyer approach can be 'stretched' so that it works for all those whose transition to adulthood is particularyly challenging in settings that go well beyond the traditional supported housing model.
