Our vision is of communities where everybody can reach their God-given potential, free from injustice and insecurity.
We are a Christian charity with a strong legacy of 35 years serving some of the most vulnerable and marginalised people in Bristol.
At the heart of all that we do is the firm belief that every person, no matter their circumstances, can transform their lives away from homelessness, addiction, poverty, and abuse.
We accept every person who arrives at our doors, serving without condition. When clients are ready to make positive changes, we empower and equip them to make those changes, to improve their lives for the long-term.
