How can you help me?

We work with the homeless to find them short or long term accommodation, or just overnight temporary shelter. There is an acute shortage of temporary accommodation in Sheffield and sometimes we can only provide those living rough with a sleeping bag and a food parcel. Those presenting at our front door asking for help may be distressed, hungry and alone. Sometimes they are also challenging and confrontational. Sometimes, they just need a little help on that day, and we never see them again, equally we may work with some clients for several years before they are ready to 'move on'.

We recognise that mental health problems or learning disabilities affect a significant number of our clients. Many struggle with basic skills including lifeskills and literacy. We specifically work with clients who cannot cope with structure and who have rejected other service providers. If we were not here for them, they would probably not go anywhere else. We work with the statutory services and other agencies to provide the appropriate support.

You may be vulnerable for a wide variety of reasons. We will work with you to overcome your problems, help to restore your self esteem and support your return to normal living.
