About us

Changing Lives is a nationwide charity helping people facing challenging circumstances to make positive changes for good. We believe everyone deserves a safe home, a rewarding job, and a life free from addiction or abuse. With the right support, anyone can improve their life.

Our services assist thousands of people each year dealing with issues such as homelessness, addiction, unemployment, criminal justice involvement, sexual exploitation, and domestic abuse. We focus on individuals' strengths and potential to help them overcome challenges and lead independent, successful lives.

Our charity is powered by over 600 passionate colleagues in a diverse and inclusive environment. Many team members have lived experience of the challenges faced by those we support. We seek committed and compassionate professionals who share our enthusiasm for changing lives.

About the Service - Housing & Homelessness Services

A safe home is the foundation for building a better life. We support those experiencing or at risk of homelessness, providing specialist accommodation and outreach services for rough sleepers, veterans, survivors of domestic abuse, women, and young people.

Accommodation means more than just shelter; it should be welcoming and conducive to growth. You can make a difference by supporting people on their journey toward a brighter future. At Changing Lives, we offer a home, not just a shelter.
