Our Focus
HEALTH & WELLBEING
We believe everyone should enjoy the benefits of good health and positive mental wellbeing and so our objectives are to improve the health, wellbeing and life skills of the people we work with.
We support our residents in a psychologically informed way, working together with them on what’s important in their lives, to build resilience and to develop resourcefulness, so that they develop the skills and confidence that they need to move on temporary accommodation.
Our goal is for our residents to leave us to thrive in their permanent home, breaking the cycle of homelessness and dependency.
TRAINING & LIFESKILLS
Many of our residents have spent a long time in temporary accommodation, and as they prepare to transition to a permanent home, they realize the importance of building new skills.
At More Than A Roof, our tailored person-centric training empowers them with everything from life skills to job-specific training and language support. We’re here to help them take that next step with confidence.
ROUTES TO EMPLOYMENT
We know that one of the keys to maintaining a successful tenancy is getting and holding down a job. Once our residents have gone through our training and life skills programmes, the next step is to start getting ready for work.
We work with several recruitment agencies and both local and national employers, all of whom are willing to give a chance to someone who needs just a little bit more support in the workplace than some employees do.
We collaborate with our residents to help them identify the sectors where they can thrive, and we provide ongoing support as they transition from unemployment to working life.
MONEY MATTERS
We believe that helping our residents build financial confidence is the key to making informed decisions, achieving their goals, and enjoying a secure financial future.
Our aim is to get them equipped with the tools and knowledge to make confident financial choices and make the most out of their money.

- Household Costs
