Building bridges
From homelessness to independence
The FurtherMore Project was set up against the backdrop of the housing crisis and to directly address the challenges faced by single homeless individuals and their limited access to social housing and adequate support services.
Our team of highly trained managers and staff draw upon years of experience to fulfil our core objective of providing a bridge from homelessness to independence and the creation of real and meaningful outcomes for those who enter our service.
The FurtherMore Project make every effort to provide a comfortable, safe, nurturing and empowering environment for our clients to live in, to fulfil their own aspirations and to move on appropriately when they are ready. We relish the chance to make a difference and work with like-minded organisations.
