In the charity's own words
With year's of experience we know that homelessness and addiction often go hand in hand. We're one of the few places in the country to operate an alchohol and substance tolerant policy, so people who stay at Cosgarne are able to address their issues in a realistic environment whilst we help them look for more permanent accomodation or work with other agencies in addressing their addiction issues.
