We work with men and women broadly described as 'vulnerable'

We work with men and women (at a ratio of around 75:25) broadly described as ‘vulnerable’. This means that some people who come to us are homeless or are likely to have accommodation that they are struggling to manage. Mental health problems affect a significant number of our clients, this can be caused by abuse, mild spectrum disorders, loneliness or just the basic inability to cope with day to day living in our modern society. Many clients have learning disabilities, many struggle with lifeskills and literacy, cannot cope with structure and have rejected other service providers. If we were not here for them, they simply would not go anywhere else. Whilst we do see people recovering from alcohol or substance abuse, St Wilfrid’s operates as a dry centre. To protect vulnerable clients we therefore have an “access by interview” policy and our 'Doormen' control entry to the building.
