When people are on the edge, homeless, isolated and in despair there must be a place to turn. At The Connection at St Martin’s, we are there to work alongside and support people as they overcome that isolation, recover from the trauma of homelessness and move on to a meaningful, fulfilling life.

Situation
The full effects of the pandemic on individual finances are still unknown. It is predicted that rates of homelessness will continue to rise. The longer someone stays on the streets, the more likely they are to develop health problems. The streets are even tougher in winter, we offer help through our centre from brief intervention to our specialist services to support individuals with multiple disadvantage. This supports rough sleepers to build a path away from the streets.
Solution
Rough sleeping is complex and requires long term support beyond the basic needs of shelter and warmth. We provide a vital support through our wrap-around services that help people address the traumas that led them to sleep rough and move into suitable housing. This starts with individuals accessing services through our centre, getting through the door can be a huge step.
