Volunteer Wellbeing Session Leader

Who Are We?

At Turning Tides, we know that anyone’s life can spiral into homelessness. We bring together compassionate individuals and organisations to transform the lives of people in our local community and change perceptions of homelessness.

We provide a warm safe space to listen to anyone who comes to us for help. Local people experiencing homelessness are supported and empowered to become confident and find the strength and belief in themselves to create a brighter future.

Together we can make a difference and end homelessness where you live.

Roffey Place is a short-term accommodation service, where the needs of each individual are assessed and supported. In due course individuals will be 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 will be 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 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 wellbeing empowers clients to develop skills and independence.
