Objective

The objective of York Road Project is to support homeless people in the Borough of Woking and its environs.

We believe that everyone has the right to a home, regardless of the difficulties and issues they may face in their lives. We believe in showing those who need our help, that the wider community are there to support them and to offer hope for a better future.

The work undertaken by the York Road Project is crucial – in 2008 we helped over 125 people but had to turn away over 900 people through lack of space and resources
