We are delighted to announce Partners for Change.

This exciting new project, made possible by The National Lottery Community Fund, brings together The Shrewsbury Ark, Stay and KiP to strengthen support for people experiencing homelessness across Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin.

Partners for Change has funding for three years, and the delivery of services will start on 1 September. We would like to say a heartfelt thank you to The National Lottery Community Fund and to all those who play the National Lottery. Your support has made this possible and will help us make a real difference to people’s lives across our communities.

The money will enable the introduction of a dedicated wellbeing support worker as well as an alcohol and harm reduction support worker serving the whole county, and an enhanced day centre in Wellington offering support, food, showers and laundry facilities

Also included in the project will be county-wide intensive support workers who will also help people to stay in accommodation after being housed.

The charities will also work together to provide joined-up, specialist support providing help and support with mental health, neurodiversity and alcohol and drug harm reduction.
