We work with a number of people who have found themselves homeless due to unfortunate circumstances including debt, domestic violence, substance misuse issues, asylum seekers and unaccompanied asylum seeking children. We also support those with no recourse to public funds. We also work with young people who have left care and support individuals in their own homes. Our mission is to change the way people think about homelessness and break the stigma. Our work isn’t just about getting people off the street but empowering them to live their best lives possible, we want to see all of our customers succeed and continue to flourish.
