Pathways is the single point of access for single homeless people in Chesterfield, North East Derbyshire and Bolsover. In the last few years Pathways has broadened our work into the recovery field, enabling us to enhance the support we provide. Our recovery efforts have been highly successful, and we are now expanding our services to include a dedicated recovery hub.
