Launchpad’s holistic service works in three ways – we prevent homelessness, provide homes and rebuild lives. Your donation will help us to support the most vulnerable in Reading, and to break the cycle of homelessness and help people get back on their feet!

Situation
Anyone can find themselves in a situation where they are homeless or at risk of losing their home. Sometimes all it can take are a few poor decisions, some bad luck or an unexpected change in circumstances. And a housing problem is not always easy to overcome – life can get complicated with things like addiction, debt and mental health problems. Which is why Launchpad exists. Especially in the wake of COVID-19, our clients are more vulnerable than ever, making our services more vital than ever.
Solution
Launchpad plans to open Reading’s first work and life skills centre in 2020/21 to support people who are homeless or at risk of losing their home. The centre will see us expand our vital services which help clients into work, education and training, giving people the very best chance of living full and independent lives by learning new skills, getting back into work, building confidence and socialising in a safe and non-judgemental space.
