About Off the Streets
Off the Streets is a grassroots charity which was started by a few local people and provides emergency housing and life skills training for homeless people. It assists rough sleepers, as they move from chaotic, often abusive lives into independent, self-sufficient lifestyles. Additionally, the charity supports homeless people in areas of mental health, domestic abuse and alcohol & drug addiction. Over the last 2 years, we have supported 119 rough sleepers & other homeless people to find and move into their own accommodation.
Through our outreach work, we distribute donations of food, clothing, toiletries, phone top-ups and other items to homeless people in the community. Recently we have taken on a larger shelter accommodating up to 10 homeless people at any one time including for the first time, homeless couples and disabled homeless people.
