Sanctuary Trust is a registered charity working with homelessness and homeless related poverty and emergency homeless issues. God’s Sanctuary was the vision of Sheila Halsall after seeing the level of homelessness in Rochdale and later the homelessness in North Manchester and North Wales, substance misuse such as Drugs and Alcohol, social and mental health problems.
By Providing Outreach Support and Intelligent Accommodation for people in need in supported housing services funded mainly through grants, donations, Housing Benefits and other Service agreements/contracts. We work with other providers including those who offer medical and clinical solutions, with the local authorities and their stakeholders.
With our work in Wales we partner with Welsh Assembly Government (WAG) as they provide financial help for people suffering homelessness through emergency shelter and their Supporting People funds. There are different kinds of accommodation available but what is needed is good quality supported housing, providing each person with an individual plan to overcome the issues that caused their homelessness. All client and business information is recorded on a central server using our own data base management console STMC© system. The Sanctuary Trust manage a strong business and development plan. We have also provided consultancy service to help others move closer to an answer to homelessness and substance misuse. See our Annual Impact Report
