'Wayfinder' is working to break the cycle of homelessness.
The Wayfinder Programme offers you the chance to use your life experience and knowledge to support someone to make positive changes and find their place in their local community.
Each volunteer will be carefully matched with an individual and fully supported by our staff team. Our volunteers will then work with them on their individual goals, helping them to make positive changes, navigate their local community and establish a stable home.
