Our Experience

OUR ROOTS & MISSION

STFH was founded in 1987.  In 2008, we joined with Bournemouth Churches Housing Association (BCHA) to benefit from the backing and expertise of a larger organisation which shares our values.

Our Mission is to help people who have become homeless by providing safe & secure accommodation, comfort, support and training to enable them to achieve independence and develop life skills.  Arising from this, we are also committed to raise public awareness of homelessness.
