We know that everyone who comes to us is their own person, with their own story and their own needs. We work closely with each guest to make sure they have the time and space they need to do things their way.
Once they feel like they’re on an even keel and life is turning around, we support them to keep on building their independence. We’re here for the little things, the bigger stuff, and a friendly chat – as long as our guests need us.
Enzo* lived on his retirement savings until he ran out of money. He was living on the street and got hyperthermia. We helped him rest, recover and move on.
Aydin* was living in his car after his relationship broke down and he lost his job as a taxi driver. We helped him into a new career and with his cooking.
Riccardo has faced many challenges in life, but is fully reflective about his choices that led to him being homeless. We helped him find and set up his new home.
Donald was self-employed for 33 years before ran out of work for the first time and lived in his van. We helped him into supported accommodation.
If you’re currently experiencing homelessness and need help, or you’d like to refer another person to The Shelter MK, reach out to us here.
We need your help so we can give our guests the support they need to get back on their feet and take a step towards turning their lives around.
We welcome volunteers with a wide range of backgrounds, especially if you are interested in cooking, DIY or admin.
