Building your future

Helping you check your eligibility, claim for the first time, or move safely from other benefits. We can also support you if you are experiencing payment problems or need to apply for an advance payment.

In return for accommodation and support, we ask residents to volunteer five days a week within these enterprises, which include shop work, gardening, and upcycling. To join the community, you must also be willing to sign off all benefits with the exception of Housing Benefit, which goes towards funding the community home.

Alongside this, companions receive tailored support to help them move forward — whether that’s building confidence, improving wellbeing, learning new skills or planning the next steps in life.
