Practical Support for Marginalised People in Need

Aim

We build upon peoples’ strengths and abilities, identifying their aspirations and help them work towards positive and fulfilling futures.

We build upon peoples’ strengths and abilities and help them work towards positive and fulfilling futures. In our experience this is best achieved when people feel secure, safe and have their basic needs met. Enabling them to gain confidence and implement positive change in their lives, maximising their contribution to, and inclusion within their communities.

All of our accommodation is furnished, and our rents include utility bills, but many of the people we support arrive with very little in terms of practical independent living skills, or even possessions. As such, we aim to provide each new resident with practical items to ease their transition and put together welcome packs which include the following very basic items:

• Parcel of staple food items.
• Bedding.
• Washing & personal hygiene products.
• 1 month travel pass to attend appointments with probation services, counselling services and training and education opportunities.
