Charity: The Passage UK

Our vision is of a society where homelessness no longer exists, and everyone has a place to call home. Founded in 1980 by Cardinal Basil Hume and The Daughters of Charity of St Vincent de Paul.  The Passage (Registered as Passage2000), is based in the heart of Westminster, providing practical support and a wide range of services to help transform the lives of people who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness. We are guided by our Vincentian values and offer our clients resources and solutions to prevent or end their homelessness for good, including routes to employment, benefits, and stable accommodation. We run a modern Resource Centre in Victoria, five accommodation projects, outreach and health services, homelessness prevention schemes and a pioneering modern slavery referral programme. The mission of The Passage is three-fold: - Preventing homelessness by intervening quickly before people reach crisis point. - Ending street homelessness by providing innovative and tailor-made services that act with both compassion and urgency. - Advocating for those who feel they are not heard by amplifying their voice to bring about real systemic change. Our Patron is Cardinal Vincent Nichols and our Royal Patron is HRH The Prince of Wales, https://www.passage.org.uk or alternatively, @PassageCharity.
