Who we are

The Society of St James - Supporting people experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness

• We believe it's a moral human right to have somewhere safe to live and the right to be treated with dignity.
• We believe that people can change their lives for the better with the right help.
• We believe that everyone deserves not just a second or third chance, but as many as it takes to enable them to change their lives for the better.

Our culture and values

The Society of St James, our values guide everything we do. We are committed to empowering people experiencing homelessness through person-centred support, safe accommodation, and pathways to lasting independence. Working together to create meaningful, long-term change for those experiencing homlessness.

Respect

We value and respect individulas, communities and colleagues.

Response

We respond proactively and positively to change, opportunities, risk and challenges.

Recognition

We recognise every individual is unique and do all that we can to help them reach their full potential.

Our approach

At the Society of St James, we take a person-centred, trauma-informed approach to tackling homelessness. Recognising that many of the people we support face multiple and complex challenges, including mental health issues, addiction, unemployment, and social isolation. Our experienced teams provide tailored support, safe accommodation, and specialist recovery services designed around individual needs.

By building trust and offering consistent long-term guidance, we empower individuals to regain stability, rebuild confidence, and move towards independent living at their own pace. Through compassionate care and practical solutions, we are committed to creating sustainable pathways out of homelessness and improving wellbeing across our communities.

If you would like to get involved whether your an individual, institution or a business feel free to book a call or email us.
