Current funding needs

This year is our 40th anniversary and we are focusing on Mental Health and its links to homelessness. We are committed to helping homeless men and women lead more fulfilling and independent lives and we need your help in raising funds to implement our solutions. We have always understood the link between mental ill health and homelessness, and tackling mental illness has always been central to our work. We have pioneered the use of the Recovery Approach with homeless people. But we have to do much, much more.

Some of the new solutions which need your support include advocacy, to support our clients who often have multiple issues such as physical health, mental health and substance use issues. Accompaniment to give clients the confidence and support to attend their appointments. Through crisis intervention we identify, monitor and prevent our clients from self harm, two intensive support workers are needed to work across our projects to provide immediate interventions when a crisis occurs. We are looking at improving the physical environment of our high support projects so that they look and feel more appropriate for the clients. We also want to deliver training to our frontline staff to address and improve the lives of those who suffer from mental ill health. In total this year we are looking at raising £1million to address this pressing issue.
