Based in Pontefract, West Yorkshire.

The Saviour Trust was formed in 2006 in order to help people sleeping rough in the church yard, who were homeless and socially excluded. The Trust was the result of a need that was presented to us in the form of desperate people who were getting no help. We had no resources at that time and worked with what we had. The one thing we agreed on was that we would offer an immediate response.

The Saviour Trust offers support to the homeless and those at risk of homelessness by providing mentoring support, drop ins, food and clothing and accommodation. We attempt to address the root causes of homelessness by offering a holistic approach. We aim to provide housing and accommodation, support around life skills, money management, mental health support, employment and training advice, family reconciliation support and alcohol and substance misuse advice. At present this is being done with a mixture of support from volunteers and partner organisations.

The Saviour Trust office is based in All Saints Church Hall and is always very busy.

There are seven members of the board of trustees, over 15 volunteers and one paid member of staff, the Homeless Manager.
