Residential Care
"In my Father's house, there are many mansions" John 14:2 |
In 2009/2010, the SVP operated two residential homes for homeless people and those with mental illness. Twenty-four beneficiaries were given a roof over their heads between the two projects which are based in Tyne and Nottingham.
The Tyne project has recently been refurbished to the highest standards, giving the residents back their dignity and a renewed hope for the future.
The Society also operated two Home Office Approved Premises for offenders on license. These residential units offered support to 105 clients during 2009/2010.
