The Foundry by SYC

29/09/2026

Today, we’re celebrating five years of The Foundry by SYC.

For the past five years, The Foundry has been a welcoming place for young people experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness, providing practical support, essential services and opportunities to build confidence and independence. From accessing everyday necessities and housing assistance to developing life skills and community connections, our team is here to help young people thrive.

A heartfelt thank you to our dedicated team for their passion and commitment, our partners for their ongoing support, and our volunteers for the time and care they generously give.

A look back at this year’s SALA exhibition!

Our Voice, Our Way, brought together artwork created by young people connected with SYC, celebrating their creativity, perspectives and individuality.

From painting and photography to ceramics, printmaking and sound, each piece offered a different way for young people to express themselves and share their stories.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this year’s exhibition possible and to the young artists who shared their work with us.

We’re proud to celebrate your voices, your creativity and your way.

This Homelessness Week, we're recognising one of the people who help make The Foundry a place of connection, creativity and belonging for young people.

Every Friday, Justine volunteers with our Art Group, helping create a welcoming space where young people can connect, express themselves and build confidence through creativity.

"I enjoy facilitating creative arts activities that young people like doing. I love creating a safe and welcoming space where they can feel heard."

Whether it's weaving, beading, painting or trying something new, art is an opportunity to build confidence, discover new skills and connect with others in a supportive environment.

"The best part is seeing young people express themselves through art and watching them realise they have strengths and creativity they might not have recognised."

Thank you, Justine, for the kindness, creativity and encouragement you bring to The Foundry every week.

Our free Friday Art Group is open to all young people aged 15–25.

Fridays | 10.00 am – 1.00 pm
Whether you're looking to get creative, meet new people or simply spend time in a welcoming space, we'd love to see you there!

Everyone's journey is different and so is the support they need.

At The Foundry, we provide a range of practical services to support young people experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness. Whether it's accessing everyday essentials, connecting with housing support or building life skills, our team is here to help.

Did you know it is Homelessness Week?

At The Foundry, we see the strength, resilience and potential of young people every day. We also know that homelessness isn't always visible, and that the right support at the right time can make all the difference.

Whether it's a hot meal, a shower, somewhere to do the laundry, a conversation or support to navigate what's next, The Foundry is here.

Throughout Homelessness Week, we'll be sharing more about our space, our team and the young people at the heart of everything we do.
