Our goal is to help our guests help themselves
Our mission is to offer a home and friendship, with appropriate support to vulnerable and excluded people who either have been, or are at risk of, sleeping rough and homelessness.
Providing Hope
We work with the full range of community services to achieve transformation in the lives of people suffering the effects of homelessness and exclusion. Our goal is to help our guests help themselves. In a structured and safe environment, we support and guide as appropriate with a view to them leading a more independent life whilst remaining healthily reliant on local support resources and the church community.
To House
We provide support within a safe, family-style home, where people feel valued and develop relationships of trust with the staff and the residents.
To Free
We help people to address life-controlling issues such as addictions, mental health issues and other problems, working closely with other professional and voluntary agencies, providing tailored individual support, and friendship.
To Equip
We equip people for sustainable living on a practical level, teaching the necessary life skills and establishing friendships and support networks in the community.
Our Values
We seek to develop the life skills, resilience and well-being of our residents so that they have the choice and opportunity of moving into work, education, training or volunteering. We are passionate in helping people realise their worth and their identity, that everyone has amazing gifts, talents and abilities; and our desire is to help our residents understand their potential and avoid becoming homeless again.
