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
