Cherrytree is here for young people, age 16-21, who are homeless and in need of support. We provide accommodation, and personalised support to help young people to develop the life skills necessary for them to gain confidence, and to re-establish their lives.

Access to these services is through the Sheffield City Council Housing Support Pathway.

Supported Accommodation Projects
Our Supported Accommodation projects give homeless young people the personalised support they need to develop their independent living skills before moving into their own tenancy.

We have two supported accommodation sites across Sheffield. A twenty bed hostel in Totley on the edge of the Peak District, and an eight bedroomed house near the city centre. We provide support for young people who for whatever reason don’t have a safe space to stay.

As well as providing secure accommodation, at the projects, we also provide 1:1 personalised support, to help get young people ready to develop their independent living skills, and to help tackle their underlying cause of homelessness.

Our projects are both staff 24 hours a day by support workers and key workers who support clients to feel secure and confident at the projects. Young people can stay at the projects for up to a year before being offered access to the home and health service, when they move on to their own tenancy. Whilst living at the projects, they will also have support with accessing education, employment or training and take part in enrichment activities.

Young people that use the service, may have experienced past trauma, or may suffer from poor mental health. That’s why we ensure our work is informed by Psychologically Informed Environments (PIE) and Trauma Informed Care, and that young people have access to counselling, 24/7 support and regular 1:1 key working sessions. Our staff are fully trained in PIE, and the support they provide, takes into account the psychological effects of trauma.

Home And Health Service
Our brand new service, enables us to continue to provide practical support to young people, after they have got their own tenancy.

Counselling & Mediation
Our In House Counsellor provides a confidential and safe space for young people to talk about anything that may be troubling them.
