Pathway Trust Case Study Pathway Trust PathwayTrust is a charity primarily based in the south east of England that supports provides support and accommodation projects to single homeless people and people at risk of becoming homeless people through a number of funded projects. The charity started in 1985 as a small group of volunteers that provided support for homeless people in a number of different ways. This work has rapidly expanded and the project now supports the homeless in the following ways:
• providing accommodation for the homeless o These projects involve managing temporary hostel accommodation and longer term permanent accommodation to help homeless people off the streets.
• supporting those sleeping rough o These projects involve supporting those who are sleeping rough by providing soup kitchens, health advice/medical treatment and helping them to move to hostels/long term accommodation.
• preventing homelessness o These projects involve working with people who have been referred as ‘vulnerable’ and who may become homeless unless they are given support and guidance.
• services for young homeless people (aged 16-24) o These projects are aimed at supporting young people who find themselves homeless for many reasons – including family break ups, runaways and similar – and providing them with the help and support needed to reintegrate with society.
• education, training and employment o These projects help those who have been homeless to gain skills and self-esteem by undertaking volunteering projects within the community with the aim of developing skills for eventual full-time employment.
