We are a movement to end homelessness. We are a charity and social business providing homes, jobs, food and support to empower people to transform their own lives. We are a catalyst for change. We challenge the status quo with innovative and scalable solutions that create lasting impact. Each of our pioneering projects support people to break the cycle of homelessness, whether that starts with a free meal, supported employment, or a safe place to call home.

Objectives: The organisation is established for charitable purposes only, and in particular, the objects are (1) to relieve homelessness and poverty by giving donations, grants or interest free loans to other charitable bodies, social enterprises, not for profit organisations and other similar bodies, who focus on tackling homelessness. (2) to relieve poverty, suffering and distress of people who are in a condition of need, hardship or distress by providing, or assisting in the provision of food, employment and accommodation, with the object of improving the conditions of life generally but in particular those who have need of such facilities by virtue of their youth, age, infirmity, disability, handicap, poverty, homelessness, unemployment or social and economic circumstances and to undertake other such activities that would relieve their needs. (3) the advancement of education through the provision of practical training as a route to employment. (4) give to anything the trustees consider to be a charitable purpose.
