Our Vision
Everyone has a place where they belong

We're committed to designing out homelessness - making it rare, brief, and non-recurring. At St Paul’s, we reject the idea that homelessness is just one missed pay check away. While it can happen to anyone, we recognise that some are far more at risk than others.

St Paul’s is an independent charity, which brings urgency, compassion, and practical solutions to the causes, symptoms, and effects of homelessness. We work every day to make homelessness in Worcestershire temporary by design.

We are guided by values that shape everything we do:

  • Action, not words
  • Challenging apathy and indifference
  • Unlocking the potential of partnership working
  • Empowering and inspiring change
  • Creating real choice and opportunity
  • Recognising our limits with humility and honesty
