We are seeking funding for a bed space at Amber's Farm Place centre in Ockley, Surrey that will give the opportunity for at least two young people from Surrey to transform their lives. Amber's goal is that the young people referred to us leave having achieved stable accommodation, employment or accessed further education or training. What makes Amber special is our tailored approach that is strengths-based and hands on. Based around the principles of restorative practice, our approach seeks to create positive behaviour change through a mix of active participation in our programme, wider community engagement and a focus on residents taking active responsibility for their own decisions.

The Amber Foundation houses and supports troubled young people empowering them to leave their pasts behind them and move on to bright independent futures. This project, an integral part of our development programme, is a series of workshops and accredited training units to help them identify what has previously stood between them and employment, further education or training and a sustainable home of their own. The grant will pay for staff time to deliver this project alongside materials needed to deliver the sessions. Broadly the benefits to Amber residents from this project are threefold; residents gain important qualifications, they are supported to identify how they can positively move forward with their lives plus boosting their confidence by giving them a real sense of achievement.

Grant towards renovating a purposefully located building in a semi-rural location, giving homeless young people the space they need to rebuild their lives. The building has a warmth and a character that is central to our approach but there are challenges associated with an older property. We have completed phase 1 of our renovation plan and we are now seeking support to complete phase 2, which involves some priority infrastructure work, including a new treatment plant and removal of lead plumbing, the renovation of 5 bathrooms and new flooring in the communal space. This project will make a real impact on the day to day lives of those who call Amber home. It will not only make a difference to the way our residents feel about being here, but will ensure that the building is sustainable so that we can continue to transform the lives of young people in to the future.

Overview
The Amber Foundation helps a key demographic of disadvantaged and/or homeless young people transform their lives by using residential centres to move them on to stable accommodation, further education and employment. The impact of these centres help to reverse a negative cycle and have proven effective in research analysis complete by the Ministry of Justice and other independent studies.Their centres support services have been stabilised by funding from diverse sources, a major funding stream being their high-profile biannual event called Amber Rocks that benefits from patron Eddie Jordan's support. Funding pledges assisted by this event will help in their plans to expand to a fourth residential centre in the coming years.
