When someone joins our community as a companion, they are offered with a place to call home for as long as this is needed, support, training and work opportunities. All this is made possible because of your support of our charity shops. Living in a stable environment with the opportunity to gain new skills, helps our residents to regain any lost self-esteem and confidence so they can get back on their feet.
Our shops are key to the success of our community. Not only do they help generate income to maintain our community home of 45, but they also give the people we support, the opportunity to develop skills and gain valuable work experience.
To support our community, we have shops in Plumstead, Poplar and Lewisham all selling quality second-hand items at great prices.
The work we do helping to rebuild lives depends on the income generated from our shops, and in turn, the pre-loved items you generously donate. All donations make a direct impact on our community and allow us to provide a home, work opportunities and support to people who are overcoming homelessness.
