New Meaning Foundation
About
New Meaning Foundation supports young people facing barriers to education or employment through hands-on construction training, personal development, and real-world work experience.
We also have a construction team of beneficiaries led by experienced professionals who take on construction projects such as our SPACE© Micro-Homes, which are designed to help homeless people take an important step away from street living to rebuild their lives, with the comfort of their own home and their own front door.
Building Strengths. Building Lives. Building Futures.
