The Society of St James

The Society of St James is Southampton’s largest homelessness charity, supporting over 1000 people at any one time. It was established in 1972 to provide accommodation and support to homeless people in the city, and now offers a range of services for vulnerable adults. The people that we support often have a diversity of complex issues, including homelessness, addictions, and mental health problems and therefore we have developed services to include supported housing for homeless people, drug services throughout Hampshire, Jamie’s Computers (our training and employment project), and a residential care home for older homeless people. 
At SSJ, we believe that everyone has a right to a home, and that people should be given the opportunity to develop the skills they need to lead a fulfilling life.
