Doncaster - Green Gables
Green Gables in Mexborough has been supporting young women, children and families to thrive since 2004. In partnership with Together Housing, the Green Gables team have a remit to provide safe accommodation and wrap-around support in five houses and eight self-contained apartments, as well as vital support to more families in the community. Commissioned by Doncaster Council and delivered by YWCA Yorkshire, Green Gables support 75 families locally. The expert team partner with organisations across South Yorkshire to share knowledge and skills to help people live successful and independent lives.
We can support families within their own home for up to 18 months, and 12 months if young parents live within our accommodation service. We can offer support to mothers, fathers, carers and grandparents who have dependent children. The staff team work in partnership with other professionals to provide a varied support package and can help with everything from debt and household management, to preparing for work.
Green Gables can accept applications for our accommodation service from young parents aged 16-25 years. Priority is given to those parents aged 16 to 18 years.
