At the Kirkhaven Project, we provide essential support and accommodation to men and women aged 18 to 65 who are experiencing homelessness. Many of the individuals we work with face complex challenges, such as mental health issues, substance dependency, or behavioural difficulties. Our dedicated team is committed to offering a safe, structured, and compassionate environment where residents can start to rebuild their lives. With spacious, wheelchair-accessible living spaces and communal areas, Kirkhaven offers a supportive community. Stays range from three months to a year, during which we work closely with each resident to create a personalised support plan, helping them prepare for a more stable and independent future.
