Happy Days promotes supported community living and social enterprise. Our key aim is to support the homeless and vulnerable (those with less chances in life) to live in safe and welcoming communities and together provide opportunities such as work experience, volunteering and support to help us prosper as a community.
Why the community needs usWe offer safe and supported accommodation within a community setting, and run two social enterprise schemes (Happydays Cycles & Happydays Cafe) which raise funds for our work and offer volunteering opportunities to our residents. Our aim is to model what we do else where and develop partnerships to create more housing schemes which will help us to reduce homelessness.
Our impact on the communityWe currently support 11 men with supported accommodation in our local area. Over the last 12 months we have developed partnerships with other projects in South Shields, Dewsbury and Bradford which will offer another between 10 - 16 rooms to folk that find themselves homeless or at risk.
