How we help
We offer practical and emotional support to our homeless community.
Our team in Leeds work with individuals who are homeless and rough sleeping; often hidden and isolated.
We recognise that emotional support has a high-value and understand that building a quality relationship with clients will underpin any support given. This emotional support evolves over time to underpin practical support around advocacy and accessing specialist services.
Providing hope for those without a voice
We offer unlimited emotional and practical support for homeless and vulnerable people to enable them to achieve their goals.
We’re a homeless charity based in Leeds
Our services are delivered on an outreach basis directly on the streets across both areas. This ensures we are supporting individuals who are homeless and may not be engaging with other services. We deliver our outreach during the day but also in the evening and in the early hours of the morning when many of the most vulnerable are struggling.
We support the unsupported
We recognise that emotional support has a high-value and understand that building a quality relationship with our clients will underpin any support given. This emotional support evolves over time to underpin more practical activity around advocacy and liaison with other, specialist services. We want to support an individual to achieve their own goals and aspirations whatever they may be.
Our core values we think are vital to our way of work
Empathetic
We offer emotional support for its own sake. We aim to understand our clients feelings, thoughts and aspirations, and support them in their journey.
Passionate
We raise awareness of the problems faced by homeless people on the streets and advocate for our clients.
Non Judgmental
We respect and value each person we work with, seeing ourselves as equals, empowering them to make positive change in their own lives.
Professional
We do everything we can to achieve the best possible outcomes for our clients and provide support for the long term. We don’t give up on people.
The work that we do is ongoing, with no time limitations
We recognise that working towards sustainable positive change may be a long, rocky road and that along the way there will be many setbacks. When needed we will continue to work with an individual if they move into accommodation as they may struggle with the transition from homelessness to being a tenant.
We work on an outreach basis
All our services are delivered on an outreach basis directly on the streets, ensuring that we are supporting those individuals who are homeless and may not be engaging with other services.
