Bringing hope to women
forced into homelessness
Wayside Community, Reigate
Transforming lives through the power of community

Unlocking the door
to a brighter future
they’re often at their lowest point.
Some have been living on sofas or in cars. Others are fleeing an abusive relationship, or have escaped trafficking. Many are trapped in poverty and feel desperate and alone.
But we show that there is hope.


We don’t just provide homes, we build communities
As a Christian organisation, we believe that every individual has dignity and worth.
For people to thrive, they need more than just a home. They need to be part of a community where they’re valued and known. Where they’re encouraged to experience new things, build new friendships, and live the fullest life possible.
Lauren's story

What we do:
providing long term support
to break out of poverty
We provide safe, secure accommodation, with dedicated support always on hand. Our team helps residents navigate the complex world of housing and benefits, empowering them to develop skills to find work and support themselves. Together, we guide them on the path to finding a new home.
Real change takes time, and that’s why we’re with people for the long haul. Some are going through long court battles for custody of their child. Others are forced to wait months and even years to find a home.
When people become despondent, we’re there to pick them up and help them keep going.

No one should have to live on the streets,
or stay somewhere that isn’t safe
