In the charity's own words
We take homeless people off the streets who have been assessed and referred by key workers and are committed and motivated to the challenge of getting back on track. We provide them with a room in a shared property and help them to find a job, save funds and find permanent accommodation, with aftercare. We provide them with physical, mental and spiritual care with a Christian faith-based focus.
