Health & Wellbeing Peer Led Programme

Your Place is a charity dedicated to solving homelessness in Newham. Where people who’ve lost their homes can get the individual support they need within a safe, caring community. This project will provide support for people experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity to improve their health and wellbeing.

The individuals living with housing instability are often affected by mental health problems and marginalisation, and experience high levels of isolation. Your Place will provide trauma-informed support in casework, advocacy and specialist care to help people in Newham improve their mental health and wellbeing, build confidence and resilience. We will empower participants to imagine different futures and achieve positive long-term change in their lives. 

We will be running health and wellbeing groups on therapeutic support, creative activities and peer support recovery - which are designed to improve confidence, motivation and personal agency. Our wrap around dedicated support will offer holistic services to address barriers including addiction, anxiety and social isolation. 

The programme will engage with communities in Newham and local voluntary sector partners to support people to access the health support they need and develop more sustainable and independent lives. We’re investing in a healthier, more connected and inclusive Newham.
