Strides
Working with people and communities to move forward
About Strides
At Strides we work with people and communities to progress.
Today’s system is fragmented, inconsistent and lacking – there is a support gap which is preventing individuals and communities from making the strides forward that are clearly possible.
Our primary goal is to bridge this gap. As a community housing association that strongly believes in maximising the social value of buildings for the benefit of people and communities, we’re working to create places of safety and quality where people can come to find their way through life and society.
We’re striving to amplify the scale and impact of our work through deeply connected partnerships where working together means we can improve life outcomes for people and communities.
We strive to be
We believe in
Community
Our community hub is a space where individuals, groups, organisations and those with a vision for strong community links can come together and shape space, learning from each other and sharing resources.
We provide bespoke accommodation alongside professional coaching for people in-work who are experiencing homelessness.
We provide low-cost accommodation for key workers and working veterans.
We partner with other organisations who deliver support services from our buildings, including a pan-London youth hub providing emergency accommodation, and a domestic abuse refuge for the LGBTIQ+ community.
Counselling
Highbury Counselling Centre provides affordable, long-term counselling for adults in the community.
We also provide honorary clinical placements for trainees and qualified therapists.
Justice
Katherine Price Hughes House is our independent approved premise funded through a Ministry of Justice contract. We provide accommodation, public protection and rehabilitation for men leaving prison, working with them over 12 weeks to reintegrate into their community.
