Enhance Lives
Helping people to help themselves
How and where life begins is beyond anyone’s control. Poor mental health can be both a cause and a consequence of homelessness. Given the increasing challenges we face in our daily lives, we can all be susceptible to mental health issues. The longer help is delayed, the more helpless people become. So, how do we help people to help themselves? We empower our residents and treat them with integrity, working alongside them rather than doing things for them. In other words, “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.”
Everyone deserves a place to call home
Homelessness is rarely a choice. Each person finds themselves placed at birth in circumstances not of their choosing, and the nature of this position materially affects their life prospects. A home is the foundation stone of safety and security. Living in a safe home reduces the risk of developing health conditions. We are always looking for better ways to support our residents, from the moment they step through our doors to a place that can feel like home. It’s not just about ending homelessness, it’s about rebuilding lives.
Including the excluded
Every person should reap the benefits of prosperity and enjoy minimum standards of wellbeing. Despite life’s setbacks, supporting vulnerable people in unique ways can empower the shift from dependency to independence, from exclusion to inclusion, and from isolation to community. This ensures that the hope of a better future becomes a right and not a privilege. Instances of social exclusion are often a consequence of discrimination and prejudice. Our aim is to contribute to the creation of a society that is fairer, more inclusive, and equal.
The importance of listening to our tenants’ concerns, understanding their diverse needs with direct involvement participation, responding promptly to their requests, and providing them a “safe home forever”, takes priority in how we deliver our services.
