Changing Lives is a national, registered charity which provides specialist support services for thousands of vulnerable people and their families. Through our pioneering and innovative work we support people to make positive, lasting changes in their lives. Our accommodation services help people experiencing homelessness, as well as providing longer term housing in our growing range of rental properties. We actively support individuals and their families to recover from addiction, and we reach out in to our communities to engage those at the very edges of society – whether as a result of rough sleeping, suffering from mental health problems or experiencing exploitation and violence.
Our women’s services provide tailored support to help women and girls achieve more – whether through accredited training programmes, confidence building work or niche services for groups such as female offenders. Our family services teams work with parents and carers providing practical, positive solutions for adults and children who are experiencing family breakdown, separation or divorce.
Finally, we provide employment and training opportunities for our clients helping to raise self-esteem, increase confidence, and build experience and skills. And we work with others – partner organisations and volunteers – as we deliver our unique services around the country. All with a view to changing lives together.
