Situation
Addiction and homelessness are severe issues. Homelessness is particularly acute in London where we are based; last year it increased by 21%, with 35% having one or more support needs. The two issues are intertwined, with one often leading to and causing the other. This complex problem requires a holistic and people-led solution, to tackle the root cause of homelessness and addiction. Our services do so, providing vulnerable people with the support, skills and belief to change their lives.
Solution
SCT takes a whole-person approach to ensure that we can support sustainable recovery. We offer a therapeutic programme, specialist addiction treatment, housing support, training and development opportunities, progression and employment, and support with social connections. Unlike many services, a local connection is not required to access our support. The money donated will go where the need is greatest, and we can ensure our services remain free to those who need it most.
