Our vision for young people at Amethyst Support Ltd is to help them back into the community by providing a safe and comfortable environment in which to live and socialise. We offer quality of life and suitable support, as well as aiding the transition into normal housing when the time is right. This is achieved by giving support on both emotional and practical levels.

We treat each and every young person who comes to us for help with the respect and care that they deserve, and understand that every person is an individual with specific needs. We aim to give young people the confidence and life skills to help them to build a bright future for themselves, while always offering support to fall back on should they ever need extra help.
