  2. Promoting wellbeing

Promoting wellbeing

Having and being able to maintain a home is a fundamental human need and supporting people to achieve this is at the core of our work. But while secure accommodation is a critical starting point, experience has shown that the key to achieving lasting outcomes is to support people to build a sense of purpose and a belief that they can shape their own futures. Our holistic support programmes help people tap into their individual strengths, developing their interests, their life skills and their self-esteem.
