WHO WE ARE
Your Place is a charity dedicated to solving homelessness in east London, one person at a time. We’re here to offer hope, a home and a healing place to grow, where people who’ve lost their homes can get the individual support they need within a safe, caring community.
OUR MISSION
To build hope and enable lasting change to end homelessness for people in east London.
We’re a growing charity, helping people who’ve lost their homes to regain their self-belief and rebuild their lives.
We work closely with each person who comes through our doors, guiding them to meet their own needs through one-to-one and peer-led support. With specialist teams and a compassionate community around them, residents make their own journey to independent living — and to a better place.
OUR VALUES
Our values guide our interactions and decision-making processes at all levels within the organisation.
Compassion - We care about people, value their views and experiences and put them at the heart of all we do.
Inclusion - We celebrate diversity, promote inclusivity and respect, and challenge inequality.
Growth - We support people to breakthrough barriers and fulfil their hopes and potential.
Collaboration - We’re stronger and can have a bigger impact when we work in partnerships and build alliances.
WHY WE’RE NEEDED
Everyone needs a safe place to live. But right now, a perfect storm of affordable housing, cost-of-living and mental health crises means thousands of people stand to lose their homes. And a lot more, besides. In London alone, one person becomes homeless every 11 minutes.
We can’t end homelessness for everyone overnight. But we can help to solve it one person at a time.
At Your Place in east London, we provide much more than somewhere to call home. We work with people one-to-one, to help them regain their self-belief, their confidence, and their place in the community.
Your Place is where people can feel safe, feel their feet on the ground, and find the help to support their journey to independent living — to a better place.
