The organization works within a principle of 'harm reduction' which means that we work with service users at their level to provide the best possible interventions for them. Because of the needs of the service users the project is a wet hostel (where service users can consume their own alcohol on site) It provides accommodation to 23 street-homeless men and women over the age of 18.

The project especially aims to cater for people with a long history of alcohol misuse and as a result of this have been discriminated from most other projects in the city. Some service users presenting are drug dependent and some drug and alcohol dependent and due to the emergency nature of the project there can be a frequency of service users coming to and leaving the project. Most of our service users would have spent a long time on the streets before arriving at our project. Therefore the support provided for our service users have to be very basic (i.e. a secure place to stay, three meals a day and a friendly environment).
