We know it's easy to judge, but there's a real person and a hidden story behind every person who needs our help. We help prevent homelessness in Reading with targeted support and help with fundamental and complementary life skills. A safe, clean home is the foundation of all of our support.Homelessness is complicated. It's not just about losing a roof from over your head. It's about losing self-esteem, confidence, structure and purpose.
Why the community needs usWe provide 4 key services: 1. Supported Housing - safe housing with personalised support, the most effective way to get people back on track. 2.
