HELP BRISTOL'S HOMELESS CHARITY

Registered charity 1181386 · accounts filings on the Charity Commission register

We believe that having a home is not an entitlement, it is a RIGHT. Our mission is to change the face of homelessness in Bristol. Through the support of our directors, trustees, volunteers and supporters our vision is to develop a site with thirty containers, converted into self-contained studio flats, providing temporary accommodation until a service user can find a more permanent home.
