About Us:

We are a Coventry-Based Homelessness Prevention and Support Charity for Young People Aged 16-25.The young people we work with are among the most vulnerable in Coventry. Lack of adult support is common leading to chaotic lifestyles. Serial homelessness is a feature with 'sofa surfing' at friends' houses hiding the true extent of the problem and limiting access to statutory support.

For some of our young people we are regarded as 'home', the only place they feel part of and loved and cared for. The work at Bardsley House has been established for nearly twenty years and has been operating as a separate charity since 2013.
