Helphomelessheroes

is a UK registered charity, a Social purpose business, a not- for-profit. A Social Enterprise operating to help homeless heroes. We are advocates of the ‘Housing First’ model. Our expertise lies in modern methods of construction and the labour and cost savings these bring. Why do people become homeless? There are a wide range of reasons that people become homeless. Most we meet contribute losing their home, losing their job, depression, PTSD, trying to adjust to life in civvy street and problems with drugs and alcohol along with mental health issues. What support is available? Much of the support that is available is only able to provide a bed for the night and a hot meal, but the next morning they are back on the streets again. This doesn’t necessarily give the individual the opportunity to address the root cause of their homelessness and find a long term way to overcome it. This is where HelpHomelessHeroes is different. We don’t just try and find a bed for the night, we offer help with clothing, toiletries, everyday essentials and food. We also furnish bedsits, flats, homes once suitable accommodation has been secured as well as meaningful work in our social enterprises. This opportunity, to become part of a community and make a contribution to it, plays an important role in restoring self-esteem and helping our heroes to find a way to overcome homelessness in the long term. We provide a support network to help heroes who are on the road to becoming homeless - hopefully preventing this happening. Offering help with pop-up tents (traditional tents are of no use as our Heroes, have to pop the tent up and down pretty quick as they are moved on),clothing, toiletries, daily essentials and food.
