They have made real improvements in recent years, but they know they face challenging times. In Westminster, in nearly all its forms, homelessness is increasing and around a third of families live in poverty. People face some of the highest housing costs in the country, a challenging labour market and rising levels of violent crime. Some of those they support come from care or broken relationships which can limit access to the help most of them take for granted. Some are seeking asylum, safety, and support.

Throughout the pandemic they have kept their services open and they have helped 700 individuals and families since the lockdown began. They know however that the challenges of Covid-19 are not for the short term, and particularly now, their response is too important to be left to chance.

They want to see the value in each individual and nurture potential, helping young people and families to thrive. It is a team effort and everyone at the Centre plays a critical role.

- Suggesting and leading administrative improvements to support individuals, teams or organisations to work in a more efficient or client focused way
-Supporting the successful implementation of cross organisational projects through administrative or project management support
- Helping co-ordinate events for external or internal audiences.
- Working with sensitive and confidential information.
