About The Organisation

Our objectives:

For more than 30 years Stay has supported people who are rough sleeping, homeless, at risk of losing their home, or who need support to rebuild their lives. We are a local charity working across the Telford and Wrekin Borough.

Through our work we aim to:

prevent the causes of homelessness
respond to the immediate needs of those who face homelessness
champion the needs of homeless or vulnerable people at every opportunity.

Our activities:

Stay provides the following support:

Supported accommodation for people who are homeless and have a support need. We support people with for example, complex needs (substance misuse and mental health), fleeing domestic abuse, who are neurodivergent.
As well as providing a safe place to call home we provide person centred, strengths based support in a trauma informed environment.
Outreach and crisis support for people rough sleeping.
We work with people from the beginning from rough sleeping right through to working with them to move-on to private accommodation and regain their independence.
