We are a small, locally-focused charitable housing association and Registered Provider of Social Housing, established in Newcastle in 1973. We stand by the North East’s most vulnerable people; those facing homelessness/unstable housing and often dealing with multiple complex needs. We help people get to a better place through our specialist supported housing, healthcare, and community projects.

Funding pressures are making it harder to support vulnerable people, and revenue funding often falls short of delivery costs. Your support can help change that.

Every pound you give goes directly to the people who need it most through our Progression Team – whether it’s helping to keep the doors to our Joseph Cowen Wellbeing Hub open, or funding fresh ingredients for our training kitchen where residents learn to cook and eat together, it all makes a huge difference.
