Quarriers Stopover homeless accommodation

Quarriers Stopover Service provides supported accommodation for 14 young single homeless people aged 16-25.

Stopover staff work in partnership with other agencies to provide specialist support where needed. The project offers a high level of support for a period of time to young people who need accommodation.

Young people staying at Stopover often experience major difficulties in addition to their housing needs. These can include drug addiction, alcohol misuse, mental health problems, offending behaviour or severe emotional and psychological issues. Some also have a history of physical, mental and sexual abuse.

What we do

Stopover works intensively with young people and uses a key work system that is carefully planned and monitored. This process involves regular reviews and the creation of a structured support plan using person-centred planning. The plan details the steps involved in helping the young person address any difficulties they may have. Each young person at Stopover meets with their keyworker once a week to review progress and agree future action plans. Service user involvement is high on our agenda and young people are encouraged to have their say at the residents’ meetings.

We offer:

  • a safe and welcoming environment
  • a period of stability in the young person’s life as many of the young people we support find themselves in chaotic situations
  • person-centred care provision
  • support to make life choices and access to realistic, attainable accommodation
  • a non-judgmental approach with each young person’s identity respected
  • care plans which reflect the individuality and uniqueness of each person we support
  • person-centred care plans, with the young person setting personal goals
  • promotion and development of independent living skills
  • maximising young people’s potential
  • a key-worker to assist the young person to identify needs. The worker will facilitate multi-agency involvement to meet these needs

How do we achieve this?

  • our practice encompasses the values and principles of social care
  • care provision is offered by an experienced team
  • we continually strive to achieve best practice through monitoring and evaluating our service.
  • team members have a wide knowledge base and are well trained in this field.
  • we encourage positive relationships in partnership working. This provides a more comprehensive support package for people we support
  • we empower young people with knowledge of external agencies
  • challenge areas of social exclusion and encourage service users participation in gaining skills, knowledge and confidence required to facilitate inclusion

Quarriers Stopover Service accepts referrals from Glasgow City Council Social Work Department, voluntary agencies, and family and friends. Young people can also refer themselves to the project. You or someone on your behalf can make a referral and places will be allocated on a priority basis.
