The Jericho Road Project

We work with people as they are – homeless, evicted, addicted, lacking hope – and help them make good choices that enables them to progress in life. We help people with their benefits, housing and addiction advice as well as giving support to attend appointments. We also aim to have fun along the way, and every year organise events including going on a five-day break.

Low Support Housing

We currently provide accommodation and low-level support for twenty-seven people within six different properties. Our aim is to help people move into their own accommodation within two years. More about our supported housing

The Feast Delivery Service

The ongoing Coronavirus crisis means that we are unable to host The Feast in our Catford building at present. However, thanks to our amazing team of volunteers, we have switched to a delivery service! We are now preparing and sending out a nutritious meal, snacks and other items to some of the most vulnerable members of our community. More about The Feast

The CAP Money Course

We run regular courses that teach people budgeting skills and a simple, cash-based system to get more in control of their finances, including bespoke courses for JRP clients.

Advice Work
