Vision
To provide rough sleepers and vulnerably housed people in Poole with hope for the future
Mission
R2R is a Poole charity with a Christian ethos providing a personalised service to rough sleepers and vulnerably housed adults, to enable them to become rooted in the community.
Aims
R2R aims:
* To encourage participation rather than dependency
* To provide a place of security and warmth, through drop-ins, where there is immediate social and spiritual support as well as the basic necessities for life: food, clothing, a place to wash and a place to rest
* To put an end to the recycling of homelessness and to ensure that, once accommodated, clients are able to access the help and assistance they need to maintain that accommodation and become rooted in their community
* To provide support needs on an individual basis, tailored to the client, providing clear assessment and progression achieved
* To develop client self esteem, self-awareness, social skills, community engagement and employment skills by providing opportunities for team working, volunteering and training
* To act as an advocate for the client with other agencies, such as landlords, mental health teams, addiction teams, council officers, police, probation, etc.
* To inspire, encourage and equip the people of Poole to respond to the needs of homeless people with compassion, in ways that are creative and liberating
* To expand the provision of its services to a full-time resource centre for clients
* To collaborate with other agencies, organisations, and groups in Poole, who work with rough sleepers and vulnerably housed adults
