Horsham Breakfast Cooks And Helpers

Turning Tides

Roffey Place is a short-term accommodation service, where the needs of each individual are assessed and supported. Individuals are supported to transition from Roffey Place to suitable longer-term accommodation that also meets their needs at that time. The service is for local homeless people who have suffered multiple and often prolonged disadvantages throughout their life.

As such residents typically remain in the service for between 6 and 9 months during which time, they are supported to develop the skills and networks to be able to live independently in the community.

The service adopts a multi-agency approach, with ample space and facilities to support this, including provision for organisations to work directly with clients and connect with one another onsite. A clinical room, counselling rooms, digital inclusions facilities and training rooms will support the delivery of therapeutic services, medical interventions and skills development. We also have a large kitchen for catering and training. This holistic approach to well-being empowers clients to develop skills and independence.
