We were originally formed in April 2001 through the merger of the Society of St Dismas (founded in 1962) and St Petroc Housing association (founded in 1972). Both organisations shared a passion for housing and supporting vulnerable people.
Our services are located in Berkshire, Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Portsmouth, Southampton, and Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole. They include; outreach to people who are sleeping rough, supported accommodation (direct access hostels, move-on accommodation, and resettlement flats), day centres, community support, Housing First, mental health support and landlord support services.
