Opening of a new Move-on scheme 1993

Bradford Cyrenians is a non-profit making organisation that provides a direct access emergency hostel and a range of supported housing accommodation for single homeless men.    Bradford Cyrenians has been working with vulnerable homeless men since October 1972.   This is when a group of volunteers got together and decided to open a soup run for homeless people.  Their concerns were that there were very few and limited services for homeless people, but particularly homeless men.  The soup run led to the eventual development of our emergency hostel and then over the years we began to develop a range of supported housing services that we refer to as ‘Move-on properties’. 

 

The project is a registered charity. The name Cyrenians is synonymous with homeless services and although its identity is bedded in Christian religious scriptures we are not a religious based organisation.  This does not mean that we do not respect all religions and welcome service users from religious and non-religious backgrounds.  Our ethos is based on an open and empowering model of support hence the reason our logo is an open door – Which universally means “Welcome”
