  1. What we do
  2. Opportunities Programme

Opportunities programme

Our Opportunities Programme provides collaborative and creative ways for people experiencing homelessness to take an active part, to learn, share and grow.  

We offer a diverse and engaging range of social, therapeutic, and skills-based activity and group work. This so often serves as a turning point for people, building on their strengths and talents and enabling positive life experiences, healthy relationships and a renewed sense of hope, confidence and possibility.  

The Programme uses arts, eco-therapy including gardening, music, sport, psychological therapies and an ever-evolving range of social and cultural activities co-produced with people living in and using SHP services.
