How we help

Framework provides a wide range of services that change and save lives in three main ways: 

  • By preventing homelessness
  • By stopping rough sleeping
  • By helping people to live independently

The journey away from homelessness does not end with settled accommodation. We offer training, education, volunteering and employment opportunities that truly help people to leave homelessness behind and to move on with their lives.

A summary of our services is listed below.

Legal support

The weight of the legal process can be heavily stacked against vulnerable people at risk losing their home. Framework redresses that balance.

What to do if you are homeless

Many homeless people do not get the help they need and are entitled to for one simple reason: they don’t ask for it. But help is at hand no matter how bad your situation appears.
