Breakfast Club
Every Wednesday morning we invite service users with whom we are completing targeted and structured work to our Breakfast Club. This is a way of trying to ensure engagement and having the opportunity to complete necessary work. From here we can also accompany individuals to appointments and the like.
Peer Support Group
Every Tuesday afternoon a small number of service users who are relatively stable meet at our group. We provide some structure and an opportunity for people to think about the challenges that they face. Our role is to facilitate and allow people to find their own solutions or support each other.

Fund Raising Events
Many people want to contribute to our cause but might not want to work directly with our service users. Alternatively some people find their skills are more usefully employed elsewhere to best benefit the service users. We welcome enthusiastic individuals who want to help us raise funds for our vital work and simultaneously raise awareness about the plight of those who are homeless.
A large proportion of the people we support have issues with drugs and/or alcohol. They tend to be at the more chaotic end of substance use.

Substance use can start as a coping mechanism. We know that behind the issue is a person, and we aim to give them the support to access the right services
