The Cathedral Archer Project is the only centre of its kind in the heart of Sheffield. It delivers a high quality service to people from a variety of backgrounds associated with homelessness including rough sleepers, drug and alcohol addicts, women street workers, probation clients, asylum seekers and refugees. With support most will be able to establish secure lifestyles free from drugs and alcohol and the lifestyle that accompanies them.
The project serves in excess of 10,500 hot breakfasts each year, in addition to over 4,000 hot meals and other basic provisions to support the growing number of homeless people in the city. Clients can access a host of services at the centre including education (Art, Numeracy, Literacy, Crafts/Sewing, IT, Women’s Group and a Keep it Safe Group for drug users), laundry services, showers, housing and benefits advice and support, food parcels, health services, telephone and internet access and a postal address for those of no fixed abode. Many of these are offered through partnership work.
