What We Do
At FreedomX, we believe that every individual and family deserves a place to call home. Not only that, but we know how important it is for those individuals and families that we help to have the support, education and job opportunities that they need to help them continue to grow.  

Every homeless individual and family has different needs, some more complex than others, so everyone that we help will be individually assessed on their needs.  

As a charity, and as human beings, we would love to be able to give everyone a home instantly, but as realists, we know that that is not always going to be possible for a variety of reasons. Sometimes the person does not want to be helped at that moment in time (and yes that sadly is sometimes the case), or we don't have accommodation in that area and the individual or family is unwilling to relocate, or it could be that we just don't have space anywhere. 
 
So, what exactly can FreedomX do to help?

Mentoring & Support

FreedomX wants to make sure that every person that we help can not only have a place to call home but that they have the skills and support to continue to build a better life for themselves. 

Mentoring & Support

Tailored Support & Mentoring
We know that every person is unique and has different needs, goals and support needs. That's why we talk to every individual to find out exactly what THEY need! 

Having a roof over our head is one of the most important things in life. It offers us protection, shelter, warmth, and sense of belonging. It gives us a space to raise a family, to meet with family and friends, and to enjoy the peace and quiet after a busy day. 
Not everyone is lucky enough to have a place to call home, and unfortunately, some people lack the skills to run a home, often through no fault of their own. Some of us take those skills for granted. Paying bills, decorating, cleaning and respecting our neighbours comes as second nature to some. However, some need extra support to be able to gain the skills needed to keep a roof over their head and to manage their tenancy responsibly.

In giving extra support to those that need it most will ensure that a higher success rate on tenancy retention is achieved.  

what other support & Mentoring do we provide?
  • Many homeless individuals and families lose out on vital government benefits that they are entitled to. This can be due to many factors. Unfortunately, some are not aware of the help that is available or are unable to fill out the forms. It is also a fact that some people are too embarrassed to ask for help. We can assist people to gain the help they are entitled to by helping them to fill out forms or by making extra enquiries on their behalf to government agencies.
  • CV writing can seem daunting, especially for those that have big gaps in their work history. Our Freedom Fighters can assist with creating a CV so that our beneficiaries have the best possible chance of gaining employment. 
  • At some point we have all struggled to get an appointment with the local GP. This can be even harder for those people that are homeless. Many GP surgeries wrongly turn away people without a fixed address or no ID. NHS guidelines state that neither of these are valid reasons not to register a patient, and FreedomX will assist those that need to see a GP to do so. We take both physical and mental health very seriously. 
  • The lack of funds to get to GP appointments or follow up appointments can often lead to health issues deteriorating. This should not be the case. FreedomX will work with our beneficiaries to help schedule and keep appointments. 
  • Signposting is often vital to our beneficiaries. Often people have been a victim of crime, have serious amounts of debt, have very complex medical needs or unable to speak English. When this is the case, and we feel that it is beyond our capabilities to help, Freedomx will ensure that people are directed to the best service to help them. We also do a follow up to ensure that help is being received where possible. 
  • Mentoring will be tailor made to the individual and their needs, and of course this can change over a period of time. We offer mentoring in personal growth, mindset, business skills and money management.
