Our Overarching Goals
Our Overarching Goals:
- Our goal is for residents to make a planned move to more permanent accommodation when the time is right for them, having made the best use of the services provided by The Winchester Beacon and other support agencies.
- We plan to expand the capacity of The Winchester Beacon to increase the number of people who can benefit from all of the charity’s services.
- We intend to increase the level of organisational resilience to ensure that The Winchester Beacon continues to thrive, offering a sustainable and increasing level of service to those experiencing homelessness.
Aims – we will do this by:
- Continuing to develop our own move-on provision.
- Identifying new forms of support and developing appropriate provision tailored to individual need.
- Further developing our volunteer base, increasing the volunteer support provided by those with specialist expertise to further enhance The Winchester Beacon’s services.
- Work as a pro-active partner in Winchester and more widely across Hampshire to support individuals and other organisations to reduce and end homelessness though continuing to raise public awareness about homelessness.
