Preventing youth homelessness
across Worcestershire.
HOW CAN WE HELP?
We provide support for young people in Worcestershire who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.
All funds raised go towards supporting young people across Worcestershire.
Thank you for your support.
We deliver our services from Hanover House in Bromsgrove.
Our Support Workers also work out in the community across Worcestershire.
Contact us for advice or to make an appointment.
WHO WE ARE
For over 27 years, The Basement Project has provided free, non-judgemental and person-centred support to young people at risk of homelessness. The Project was set up in 1998 in response to a forum held in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire. Young people, many of whom had been homeless or had grown up in care, told local youth sector professionals that there was a lack of housing support for their age group.
The Basement Project has since expanded to cover the whole of Worcestershire, providing a range of support to young people up to the age of 25 who are homeless or vulnerably housed.
WHAT WE DO
Our support services operate from our base in Bromsgrove at Hanover House, as well as through ‘floating support’ out in the community across Worcestershire.
We offer:
- Mediation and Conflict Resolution
- Guidance to navigate the housing system and apply for housing.
- Support to manage a tenancy.
- Advocacy to help navigate challenges.
- Support to access employment

Our Story
How We Got Started
In 1998, the Worcestershire Youth Service held a conference on youth homelessness, attended by a group of young people from the county. Many of them had been homeless or had grown up in care. They told the conference that there was little or no support for them in Bromsgrove. As a result, professionals attending the conference (from the local voluntary, statutory and private sectors), together with County and District Councillors, set up the Bromsgrove Youth Homelessness Forum. The Forum first operated from the basement of a local church, registered as a charity in September 2000 and is now also a registered company.
