Our support services vary depending on the type of service – for
instance at out Hostel & Trainer Flats :
The Hostel:
We operate a 12-bed direct access hostel for homeless men aged
21-65 years of age, taking agency and self-referrals. The hostel provides
a private bedroom with hand basin, shared bathrooms and toilet
facilities. A communal lounge,
dining, kitchen area and laundry facilities are available to residents.
The scheme is staffed 24 hours a day with guard cover at night. Breakfast
and a 2-course evening meal are provided as part of the services we
offer. Due to the high support
needs of service users we have protocols in place to work with other
agencies that deliver surgeries from our site. They include:
·
A weekly Drugs
surgery is delivered by the Bridge Project (a weekly surgery is also run
at our Apsley site for all Move-on tenants).
·
A weekly Alcohol
drop-on service delivered by Piccadilly Project
·
A quarterly Sexual
Health group by Mesmac
·
Access to a
Specialist Nurse via Bevan House
·
Monthly
Hairdressing service
Trainer
Flats:
Trainer flats is a scheme consisting of 3 flats
that are located in the adjoining house to the hostel and therefore
benefits from the 24 hours staffing/services available. The service is aimed at working with men
presenting with medium to high support needs and who benefit from an
intensive support service.
Bradford Cyrenians also participates in local initiatives and
wider strategic work aimed at improving current and future provision for
Bradford’s homeless and vulnerable communities. It is integral that we engage in dialogue with the Local
authority and other strategic bodies such as Health and other funders in
the future development of homeless services in order that gaps in
provision can be met.
