HARP is Southend’s homelessness charity. We provide housing, advice, and support to around 1,000 people each year who are either experiencing homelessness or at risk of losing their homes. A sudden increase in pressure - such as losing a job, a relationship breakdown, or a mental health issue - can force people into homelessness. We help individuals lay the foundations to rebuild their lives and end the need for rough sleeping for good. Our support includes: • Street outreach – Our teams are out daily, working to help people who find themselves without a home, offering them opportunities to access emergency accommodation. • Providing homes – We house over 330 people at one time. • Prevention hub – Our prevention hub provides help for those at risk of losing their homes. • Bradbury Day Centre – Open 365 days a year, this warm and safe space in Southend offers support to people sleeping rough. Trained staff provide food, clothing, guidance, and connections to essential services. • Ongoing support – We provide ongoing and tailored assistance to meet each individual’s needs, helping them find permanent accommodation, develop life skills such as cooking and budgeting, and overcome challenges like addiction and mental or physical health conditions. In time, we also support them in returning to work or training. While some people’s problems can be resolved quickly, others may need longer-term support.

The Shoebury Ark (regd charity 1198094) is a charity (registration pending) which aims to help alleviate poverty in the Shoeburyness area (one of the most deprived wards in the country) by the provision of free freshly cooked meals and foodbank items. In addition we also sell at very low cost tinned/packet food and children's clothing. We also signpost people to other support agencies and partner with Fuel bank for support with energy costs.

Currently we serve approximately 200 meals a week. We welcome donations of food to prepare meals, ambient food for sale at low cost (also helps to fund meals) and children's clothing and toys. We welcome donations from organisations willing to sponsor or part sponsor the cost of meals each week (approx £200).
