Who We Are
Shiloh Rotherham has been supporting adults who are homeless or at risk of homelessness since 1992. Our vision is for everyone to have a safe place to call home and have the opportunity to live independently with a good quality of life. We believe it is a fundamental human right to have a safe and secure home, and so all of our planning, resources, and activities orientate around this vision. The distress of lacking a settled home can cause or intensify social isolation, create barriers to education, training, and paid work, and seriously undermine mental and physical health.
What We Do
We aim to help people overcome the barriers and challenges to independent living. We do this by offering services and activities delivered from our support centre and also through outreach services in the community. This includes;
* A safe and welcoming environment
* A way out of homelessness for good through our year round mentoring, training, education and activity programmes.
* Expert help with housing, employment and benefits
* Support to progress out of temporary accommodation and into a new home
* Advice with mental health and addiction problems
* Hot food and drinks
* Emergency provisions, clothing, bedding, laundry and shower facilities
* Outreach support to rough sleepers living on the street
When I first came to Shiloh I didn't think that my housing situation would improve so quickly. I could never have imagined at that time that I would ever get a Council flat and now I have one! Thanks Shiloh, without you I don’t know what I would’ve done!"
I’ve been trying for so many months to get help. It’s so hard to access services – you always have to wait or call back. But today at Shiloh I felt like I was an all-inclusive guest, everything was here! I’m so happy!
