Providing love and support where it’s needed most

“What can I say? This time in my life will be with me for the rest of my days. This has been the catalyst which will help me to enjoy and live life again to the fullest.”

Alex*, Lodger

Alex* was in a motel before coming to the Lodge. Broken relationships and poor mental and physical health left him without secure housing. Alex stayed 12 weeks and reported enjoying the 'love, friendship, respect and laughter'. He was given support to attend appointments both virtually and in person and was able to find longer-term housing to move on to through a local church connection.
