In addition to a warm bed and nutritious food, we also provide a programme of practical and emotional support with the aim of helping residents escape homelessness and rebuild their lives. We help residents find more permanent accommodation, work through any problems which may have contributed to their homelessness and also prepare them for independent living.
Our programme of support on offer to each resident includes:
A floating support worker to provide individual advice and advocacy for housing, employment, personal finance and other essential needs on a weekly basis
A confidential counselling service
Advice on how to access free legal advice
Debt and budgeting advice from our on-site advisor
Training and volunteer work placement schemes with local businesses (currently the University of Winchester and Winchester Cathedral) to help residents gain experience and skills for potential employment
Opportunities to develop independent living and employment skills
Access to drug and alcohol advisory services and support
IT training, housing support and career advice
Cooking workshops and nutritional advice
Therapies including acupuncture
Social activities.
