Creating a pathway from hostel to home
Our Impact
To date, we’ve had 21 trainees complete the programme and we’ve secured eight housing deposits for people to move into long-term accommodation We’re currently working with a whole new cohort of trainees and have big plans to scale our impact.
Support from our engagement officers continues for up to 2 years as it's needed. Our progression team continually refine our 200-hour programme to meet the changing needs of our trainees and make our support as holistic as possible.

Emmanuel’s story
“No matter what’s going on in my life, I’ll always be able to smile because of Fat Macy’s. They changed my life and continue to help me. I’m more confident in my abilities and I’ve learnt a lot. They always believe in me and are always there to talk to. I feel part of a family.”
