In their words
York Road ProjectOver 30 years, York Road Project has learnt that the only way to defeat homelessness is through adaptive, personalised services that are tailored to each of our clients: much more than just a roof and a bed. We can only deliver this work thanks to voluntary funding, and we’re very grateful for WCF’s support, which has enabled us to help over 180 local people in the past year alone.
