As we see in another year here at Industrials, we welcome our new and exciting charity partner, The Wellspring.  

Situated in Stockport, The Wellspring is a resource centre for homeless and disadvantaged people. It provides referrals into housing and has so far supported over 1500 rough sleepers off the streets and into accommodation. It also provides free food and drinks and people
rough sleeping with showers and clean clothing, as well as blankets and sleeping bags.

The current strategy of the charity to fight homelessness is to actively engage with people who are at risk of becoming homeless, to prevent homelessness from happening. It is often simple pieces of advice and support, interventions at the right time, giving professional guidance, and most of all positive engagement that can make a
difference. The charity provides educational courses, computer courses, art classes, and other activities such as football, walking groups and gardening courses. Alongside this, the charity offers health services including a drop-in service from a GP and referrals to other specialist services, such as drug and alcohol teams, are made frequently.

The Wellspring is local to our Stockport office, and we are looking forward to getting involved, volunteering, raising vital funds and raising awareness of the incredible work they do and their impact on the local community.
