Korban
Colchester Korban is a Christian based charity providing supported housing for 16 – 25 year olds who have found themselves in crisis. We aim to offer young people a home, support and guidance as they prepare themselves for independence. Colchester Korban was started as a churches’ response to youth homelessness. Nearly half of people living in supported accommodation are aged 16 - 24. Young people have been hit hard by reductions to youth services and welfare reform over the last few years, and assistance with accommodation is needed now more than ever.
