Changing Lives Creating New Futures
Who we are
We are a registered Christian Charity (1189275) seeking to transform lives through the provision of temporary accommodation and services for those who are homeless and at risk of homelessness through supported housing and other projects
We are a supported housing scheme with a Christian Ethos but open and inclusive of anyone needing support. We work holistically with each individual through work related projects, counselling, support for tenancy management, and removal of barriers to independent living and recovery. We aim that through our work we will demonstrate and share the Love of God in action to bring change and hope for a better future with those we serve. We first and foremost aspire to be a community working together of trustees, staff, volunteers and residents. By forming good community and relationships we believe this is a key to change and success.

Relationships have broken people but its relationships that can heal them
Quote- Michael Dye founder of the Genesis programme
Building Community together
We believe one of the most important keys to change is new community, and opportunities to socialise within a postive peer group, growing in trust of people once again.
We seek to provide time for residents to meet together and enjoy various social activities and bring all residents, staff, volunteers and trustees together a few times a year to develop relationships where the trust needed for change can grow. One of our core values is we aspire to be like a family promoting love and respect of one another.
Recovery Courses
Another key of change is recovery courses.We also run a Christian recovery and relapse programme called "Genesis" where residents have the opportunity to explore tools and processes to understand the roots of their problems and addictions, and find new things about themselves their value, purpose and meaning in life.
Counselling and Other specialist support
We offer residents access to our counscelling service and also refer residents to other agencies for specialist support, including mental health services, alcohol and drug services(CGL).We also have good contacts with Christian organisations providing 9 month to 2 years rehab programme for more complex needs.
