Not-For-Profit Information

We provide accommodation while supporting women over 18, and families experiencing homelessness to access all the relevant support services that they may require to progress to independent living. We aim to accomplish this by providing a Transitional Program incorporating independent living skills, identifying appropriate daily activities, and workshops around nutrition, health, and wellbeing.

We provide a wraparound service to women and families using our accommodation, with visiting onsite support from Addiction, Mental Health, and Disability services. Through continued relationship building with these agencies, we strive to strengthen and grow the interagency working into our ethos. This will enhance the standard of care to service users within our service.

Our Mission is to provide accommodation with support, in a safe environment, to women and families who present as homeless; with the objective being to support them to move on to, and sustain, independent living.
We will endeavour to achieve this through a philosophy and value base which promotes respect, dignity, partnership, non-judgemental attitude, understanding and empowerment.
