Our mission is to provide comprehensive support, resources, and opportunities that empower individuals to overcome homelessness and rebuild their lives. We believe in a world where everyone has access to affordable housing, supportive services, and the tools necessary to lead meaningful, fulfilling lives.
Welcome to:
Overview
Through our projects in Eastbourne we work with people to address barriers they face to a more stable lifestyle. We help them discover skills, attitudes and values that enable them to develop hope for a better future. Our vision is a future where no one in Eastbourne experiences the despair and uncertainty of homelessness.​
​
The Way provides a multi-purpose premises in Eastbourne Town, with a focus of a much needed Weekend Drop-in for the homeless and other community groups through the week. This provides a welcoming and safe place for the homeless and street community on Saturday and Sunday to compliment the work of Matthew25 and the Salvation Army during the week.
​
Emergency Housing replaces the Winter Night Shelter project. Ten rooms are available for those who have been rough sleeping for a placement of up to three months, available throughout the year rather than just during the winter. Support is offered to help people move on to longer term accommodation.
​
The Bridge provides a structured residential process of restoration. But it offers more than just a roof over people's heads. It gives dedicated support for those seeking to address issues and progress on their journey through life.
​
Hope into Action houses provide a secure, supportive home. Staff, helped by volunteers from local churches, provide regular support to empower tenants who are moving towards interdependent living.
​
Hope Woodwork is a project where people can discover new skills, strengthen their everyday life skills and be equipped for a return to the workplace with the help and support of the friendly team of staff and volunteers at the fully-equipped workshop.
