Story

No one should be homeless.

We’re Southend’s leading homelessness charity. We provide housing, advice and support to over 1,000 people each year who are experiencing homelessness or are at risk of losing their home. We help them lay the foundations they need to rebuild their lives and end the need for rough sleeping for good.

Working alongside our local community, we provide street outreach every night supporting people into emergency accommodation. When people’s basic needs are met, the real work begins. Our ongoing support is tailored to each individual’s needs and includes finding permanent accommodation, building life skills; overcoming challenges such as addiction or health conditions, and in time, helping people back into work, education, or training.

For every £1 you donate to our team, 96 pence will go directly to the frontline to support people experiencing homelessness in Essex. We cannot continue our vital work without your support.
