Hammersley Homes is a charity that provides long-term ongoing support to vulnerable adults who live with enduring mental ill-health, and struggle with independent living. Currently through our Outreach Programme, we visit our clients (mostly referred to us by local Community Mental Health Teams) to offer companionship and help with anything they may be finding overwhelming, including cooking & nutrition, shopping, dealing with incoming mail, budgeting and financial planning - and a great deal more. Sometimes it's just going out for a walk or a coffee. Kindness and compassion can go a long way. Our long-term goal is to establish supported housing facilities, where residents can live with dignity in a place they can call home - amongst friends, without the loneliness that is so often present in their lives, and with 24/7 support on hand, as and when needed or required.
Funds raised on these two evenings will enable us to support more of the vulnerable people we work with, and reduce the ever-lengthening waiting lists for our service.
