| Established in 2018, Hammersley Homes is a charity that supports adults who live with enduring mental health challenges, through outreach services, day centres and the provision of properly supported homes for life. Many of these vulnerable people live with their families whose lives are dominated by the problems that their loved ones live with, unable to access adequate support and care and always worrying about what will happen when they are no longer around to provide the much needed love, support and care. Others struggle to live independently, and many are homeless or on mental health wards or even in prison, effectively being punished for having an illness, having committed a crime during a psychotic episode, without criminal intent. Our purpose is to provide solutions to these societal problems, to keep these vulnerable people safe and secure, amongst friends, and helping with every day tasks they may struggle with – enriching and giving a sense of purpose to their lives. Kindness and compassion can go a very long way, and so many of the problems that occur, and the worries and anxieties that both sufferers and their families live with, could be avoided with better support. |
