Hear from the people whose lives have been changed thanks to your donations

Thanks to your generous donations we have been able to support people across the UK to overcome homelessness, addiction, debt and unemployment. Compassion and understanding is at the heart of our work, we build relationships on trust and honesty that empower people to take control of their lives. 

Overcoming Addiction 

We recognise that everyone's story is different, so we believe in treating people with unique needs to get to the root causes behind their addiction and help them move forward. 

Six months ago Chris was sleeping on a park bench, now he's sober and thanks to the support he received at one of our Lifehouses he is moving on with his life and looking forward to a brighter future. 

Tricked and Trafficked

Toni met a woman in her home country of Jamaica who persuaded her to give up everything and move to the UK to be with her. Their love story turned out to be a lie and Toni was kept as a Modern Slave for years until she got help from The Salvation Army.
