About us:
The Connection has been supporting people sleeping rough to move away from the streets for over 100 years. We take the time to get to know each person, understanding their individual challenges and helping them find a way forward.

Everyone’s journey is different, but we are here to support them every step of the way. Sometimes, it starts with something as simple as a chat, a cup of coffee, a hot meal or a shower. We work alongside people to overcome the challenges of homelessness and build meaningful, fulfilling and settled lives.
