Annual Impact Report 2025-26

About

Stay's Homeless Outreach Team meets people sleeping rough across Telford and helps them off the streets. Its Intensive Housing service now offers 87 supported bed spaces, alongside emergency accommodation and support for people with no recourse to public funds. Until January 2026, The Net project helped people claim the money they were entitled to and improve their finances and wellbeing. Stay also takes part in health research through the Research Engagement Network and, from 2026/27, will work with Shrewsbury Ark and KiP Telford through Partners for Change.
