From housing to hope
Our housing services are vital in providing a warm, welcoming and safe home.

With winter here, festive celebrations and sharing hopes for the new year are the furthest thing from the minds of those facing housing challenges and living with a mental illness.
It can be difficult to navigate everyday tasks when you’re severely affected by mental illness, especially when you don’t have a strong, stable community of support around you. Pair that with the stigma often associated with mental illness, and you can be left feeling isolated and overwhelmed.
Our supported and crisis housing service tackles this head on and gives people hope.
Your donation could help us
- Open more houses, providing safe and secure accommodation for those who need it most.
- Ensure our amazing Mental Health Recovery Workers can work on a one-to-one basis with residents, helping them to reach their goals and grow their independence.
- Supply welcome packs with housing essentials such as bedding and kitchenware to really help residents feel at home.
- Provide practical support with day-to-day living, such as using public transport, arranging and attending appointments, accessing community groups and resources, or managing and improving nutrition.

I’m more independent, I’m mixing with people more and not worrying about things so much. I’d be nervous if I lived on my own again as I do need the support, really. It’s better than living on your own - you haven't got to worry about things, the staff help you out and take the stress away. People are welcoming when you come here, they make you feel at home.
