Impakt Housing & Support
“Their purpose is to end homelessness and they want to achieve this through the provision of personcentred support and care.”
MPAKT Housing & Support, members of Bedfordshire Chamber of Commerce, aims to promote social inclusion for disadvantaged people by giving them the self-confidence, motivation, and resilience to overcome difficult circumstances.
Their purpose is to end homelessness and they want to achieve this through the provision of person-centred support and care. Their encouragement is to build upon personal strengths, and they are empowered to gain independence and develop greater resilience.
At their core, they strive to support all communities from all walks of life, regardless of who they are, and how they found themselves in the situation that they are in, their aim is to help and support those that need it most.
Their core business activities include, but are not limited to:
• Supported Housing, which gives them a geographical presence across Bedfordshire and three Local Authorities. They are experienced providers of supported housing to homeless people.
• IMPAKT Skills courses providing help, training, and practical support for single homeless residents.
