About

Citadel is a project that matches people who have experienced homelessness with local community volunteers.

By bringing together people who have experienced homelessness with volunteers from the community, we believe we can end the cycle of homelessness for many people.  

The Citadel Volunteers may provide support with some, or all, of the following: 

  • Emotional support - just being there to listen and share stories and experiences. 
  • Connecting with the community - this could be through a community group, a club, a sport, a hobby, or just spending time in a local café. We love volunteers to bring their own passions and community connections with them to Citadel and to help the people they support to find or nurture theirs! 
  • Support with finding a home – in some cases our volunteers help those in short term housing find their next step. This could be going along to house viewings or helping liaise with housing providers.  
  • Support in making a house a home - Sourcing household items and furniture, helping with moving or with DIY or maintenance in some cases.  
  • Support with keeping a home – by helping with budgeting, setting up utility accounts or understanding a tenancy and liaison with landlord for example.  

Volunteers are offered a full induction, interesting training, ongoing supervision, and a chance to make a real difference in the community whilst meeting likeminded, caring people.

All we ask is that you can volunteer an hour or more a week, for a minimum of 6 months, and that you take part in our induction, training, and supervision.
