Homelessness is not what you might think, we not only work with people rough sleeping on streets, our support extends to all those affected or at risk of homelessness such as;

Families

Each group has its own specific set of needs, these can be fairly simple or extremely complex, but either way we work to ensure those at risk of homelessness are supported before they hit crisis point. Breaking stereotypes is key to this, most of our work involves education awareness to help people understall aspects of homelessness, who can be affected how.
