Sometimes it’s the little things that make a big difference
When we arrived at work this morning there were two young people asleep on the steps out the front of Frontyard. This morning was freezing and they were using their bags and clothes as bedding, so they must have had a pretty uncomfortable night.
The young people explained that they had been sleeping rough and had arrived at Frontyard in the early hours of the morning.

It’s just such a rewarding job sometimes.
Working at Frontyard can be a really rewarding job sometimes: sometimes you just never know what is going to happen in the course of a day.
At one stage we had to call an ambulance for a young person who was taken ill. And then later on a few clients got a bit restless and one of us staff needed to go to talk to them to calm them down a bit.

Just another busy day at Frontyard
Today was another busy day at Frontyard. Frontyard is a one-stop shop of eight free services that all work together for young people aged between 12-25 who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.
Today started with the good news that one of our workers, Julie, who was off sick for a while, will be coming back to work with us soon.
