Registered Charity No. 1043664 Believing in your future:

At the Society of St James, we believe that everyone has a right to a home, and that people should be given the opportunity to develop the ski

lls they need to lead a fulfilling life. We were established in 1972 to provide accommodation and support to homeless people in the city of Southampton, and now offer a range of services for vulnerable adults and young people across Hampshire. The people that we support often have diverse and complex problems, including homelessness, addictions and mental health problems. We have developed our services to include supported housing for homeless people, drug and alcohol services and a residential care home for older homeless people.

💚 A huge thank you to Kingfisher plc for recently spending the day volunteering with us and making such a positive impact! 🙌

Their fantastic team worked incredibly hard to help improve one of our properties. This included cleaning up the garden, planting new lavender pots, building a brand-new bench, and giving the house a thorough clean from top to bottom.

Thanks to their dedication and teamwork, our space is now brighter, more welcoming, and ready to be enjoyed by the people we support every day.

We are so grateful for your time, energy, and commitment. Thank you, Kingfisher, for making a real difference! 💚✨
