We know through years of experience that to tackle poverty and in particular homelessness we need to tackle the education, health & wellbeing and economic inequalities faced by the disadvantaged adults that we work with here at the Society of St James.
We use our charitable status to secure funding to provide services over and above those provided by local councils to tackle homelessness. And we will continue to listen to our service users to find ways of reducing the inequalities they face to give them the best possible chance to fulfil their potential. You can help us to tackle these inequalities by:

- setting up a regular payment
- donating goods and unwanted items
- keep an eye on our appeals page
