Our accommodation

The Hostel

Our hostel provides safe, temporary accommodation and essential support services for individuals experiencing homelessness. Serving as a crucial short-term bridge toward independent living, the hostel offers immediate shelter to prevent rough sleeping while helping residents address underlying challenges such as unemployment, addiction, and physical or mental health issues. Our hostel is staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, providing comprehensive support and private rooms and meals.

Central Court

Central Court provides our second-stage housing, comprising semiindependent shared accommodation. While many residents move to Central Court from the hostel, we also accommodate individuals who have previously lived independently but are now homeless or at risk of homelessness.

Residents at Central Court are encouraged to take increased responsibility for their day-to-day living. This includes managing personal finances, preparing meals, and maintaining a clean and organised living environment. Staff are still available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year ensuring consistent support. They can provide assistance with accessing benefits, liaising with external agencies, and developing the skills needed for independent living, helping residents to transition into secure and suitable housing when  they are ready.
