Lifeline is a day centre providing crisis support to help people who are homeless, vulnerably housed or experiencing complex challenges such as financial insecurity, mental ill-health and substance misuse.  We can provide food, clothing, small household items, access to a shower, phones and IT and much more.

We also offer one-to-one support where guests can talk to a member of the team.  We particularly focus on the home, tenancy matters and financial problems; but if we can help on any matter we will endeavour to do so.  In all of this our attention is also directed at supporting the overall well-being of all who visit Lifeline.  We will endeavour to be encouraging and straightforward in our approach.

We host services for our guests such as hairdressers, vets, dentists, Curo housing association and much more. Please call for more information as the dates and times as these vary throughout the year.

People can just drop in during opening hours, but we also operate a booking system which benefits visitors as it allows us to provide more focused support for each individual.
