“For the first time in years I could close the door and feel safe. My key worker helped me with everything — solicitors, my GP, even just getting through the day. I believe I can start again now.”
— Resident, survivor of domestic abuse
“I'd been sofa-surfing and sleeping rough on and off for two years. Safe Keys Housing gave me a room, a routine and people who didn't give up on me. I've just signed my own tenancy.”
— Former resident, previously homeless
“Leaving care at 18 was scary. Here I learned to cook, budget and pay my bills. Now I'm at college and I know there's someone to call if things get hard.”
— Resident, care leaver
“When I came out of prison nobody wanted to know. Safe Keys Housing treated me like a person, not my past. With their help I found work and I'm reconnecting with my kids.”
— Former resident, rebuilding after prison
“My support worker listened to what I wanted, not what she thought I needed. That made all the difference with my mental health.”
— Resident
