Axiom’s Wisbech Foyer teamed up with CHS Group’s Fenland Young Peoples Project, to host the drop-in at its Wisbech Foyer in North Street.
Between them they provide accommodation and support to develop the skills necessary for young people aged between 16 and 24 to be successful in living independently.
Paul Grimmond, Foyer Service Manager, said: “For some young people who don’t have family or other support it can be difficult to find suitable accommodation, training or employment and we are here to offer support and help to them.”
Wisbech Foyer is within the town’s waterfront development and provides accommodation for up to 17 young people.
