“We measure our success by the reduction of homeless people in our community and the willingness of landlords to entrust us with their properties. With the help of these collaborations we are very successful.”
Emma Houghton
Director of Care & Support
We are a Not-for-Profit organisation based in Preston. Our main referral pathway comes from Local Authorities, NHS, Veteran agencies, NPS, Approved Premises, and other referring agencies. There are many organisations and charities established to support homeless people. There is also a well-established hostel provision. However, there is a lack of “move on accommodation” available to enable people living in Hostels, Hotels and Temporary Accommodation to make the transition into independent living . Our clients receive a Welcome Pack including bedding, towels, a food pack, personal hygiene and household cleaning products. Accommodation is fully furnished and well appointed. We offer 1-2 hours one to one support weekly for a period of up to 2 years. During this time, we work tirelessly with complimentary agencies who offer more in-depth support.
Our main objective is to address barriers preventing our clients ability to live independently. We are constantly working towards a Move on Plan and better outcomes.
We Aim to:
To meet the basic needs of everyone in a safe, non-judgmental and caring environment.
To support people who are living on the streets into finding accommodation.
To help people gain skills and confidence so that they can take an active role in their futures.
To enable people to make positive choices in their lifestyle by accessing employment and freedom from negative influences.
To engage with local communities by identifying opportunities.
