Ourcore activity is providing direct support for homeless people and others in need. We help people at every level of homelessness, from the street homeless to those in hostels and bed and breakfast accommodation and vulnerable former homeless people who need continuing support if they are not to become homeless again.
There are no paid staff, and no office premises. The numbers on this website are home numbers, so if you can contact us by email rather than telephone, that is appreciated:
