As a hostel we would consider ourselves to be very community focused and take pride in actively supporting the local community. We also create opportunities for our residents to take part in in-house activities ranging from art, creative writing and gardening to help increase their self esteem.

Situation
Michaels Limited is an independent Charity that supports the homeless and vulnerable. With expertise in addiction support, offender management and learning disabilities whilst taking an active role within the community. In 2017, we became 'Dog Friendly' hostel, as we know that there are a number of rough sleepers on the street who cannot access safe accommodation without giving up what may be their closest and only companion.
Solution
By creating a nurturing environment, where our residents feel “safe, warm and inspired” and encouraged to overcome personal challenges and trauma, through 1-2-1 support, group activities and creative interventions. We aim to restore self-esteem, assist with life skills, access further education where necessary, and facilitate training for voluntary work or employment to enable individuals to rebuild their own lives and reintegrate back into the community.
