The Lyme Trust is a charitable organisation which was set up in 1974. The Trust provides supported accommodation for people living with mental health problems. We also support people with substance misuse and addiction difficulties alongside any mental health issues. Our aim is provide a safe, stable and comfortable environment in which people can live. Residents have access to high levels of support and a good quality of life. The Trust is part of the voluntary sector and has access to a wide network of specialist support. Volunteers play a large part in the organisation and with their variety of experiences bring a rich cultural element to The Trust. The management team meets on a regular basis with the board of Trustees to report on progress and exchange views.

Established in 1989, Honeycomb Charitable Services Ltd is a registered charity that is Breaking barriers, Building people, and Bettering homes.’ Whether it's helping to make homelessness history through our brand ‘Concrete’ or ending domestic abuse through our brand ‘Glow’, we’re vital in making a difference to the lives of children, young people, adults and families across Stoke-on-Trent and surrounding areas. We’re often connecting with people at difficult times in their lives providing a range of advice, accommodation and support for those affected by or perpetrating domestic abuse and people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Many of those we support also have additional needs that arise from mental ill-health, substance misuse, offending behaviour or their refugee status and their lives are often further complicated by issues such as low confidence, a lack of practical skills for life, social isolation and, debt and poverty. Glow; ‘the heart of change for safe, healthy relationships’ is our specialist domestic abuse brand, leading change by tackling the issue of domestic abuse from all angles. To end domestic abuse we support and address the needs of those affected by domestic abuse; we empower survivors to overcome their past toward more confident futures; and we work to end domestic abuse at the source by educating the community and working with those responsible for abuse to end and change the cycle of their behaviours. #FindtheGlow Concrete; ‘making homelessness history’, is our specialist homelessness and complex needs services brand which, through a community-led approach, is helping those without a plan, without a voice and without a home build concrete futures by tackling the underlying issues that keep them from finding and securing a home of their own. We’re making concrete changes to make safe, secure housing a right, not a privilege. #ConcreteFutures
