The Inn

The Inn, located in Wellington, provides supervised emergency accommodation for up to six young people.

If you are a young person (15-25) in need of emergency accommodation, employment or other kinds of assistance, please read about the services offered at The Inn and contact us to see if we can help you.

What happens in your time at The Inn

The programme works towards long-term results rather than just providing you with short-term accommodation. Your stay can range from 4-6 weeks before you move to something more permanent after you get on your feet.

During your time at The Inn, you work alongside a daytime case worker in areas of need such as gaining employment and long term accommodation. This is achieved by learning basic life skills like:

• cooking
• budgeting
• CV preparation
• job searching
• flat hunting

In addition to learning these life skills, you'll also be involved in adventure based learning techniques, including the use of high rope facilities, initiative courses, tramping and trips to Blue Mountain Adventure Centre.

How The Inn can help out in special circumstances

• Alongside the Courts, we can assist youth with bail conditions and community service requirements.
• We refer serious cases involving drugs and alcohol to the Bridge programme or other suitable agencies.
• We accept youth through referrals from The Salvation Army Hope Centre in Newtown, Courts, Police, Evolve Drop-in Centre, churches and many other agencies.
