Each of our homeless friends has a story to tell,
and we’re there to listen.
Over the last couple of years, Liverpool has seen a sharp incline in the amount of homeless people who are sleeping in the doorways of our city. After Kingsway House homeless shelter was forced to close in February 2018, Signature Living launched The Cotton Street Project. A new homeless shelter designed with a difference.
Through the homeless shelter, I want local people to come together and work as a community by volunteering at the shelter to ensure nobody in Liverpool spends a night on the streets.
Cotton Street is the first of its kind. A place of comfort, care and productivity, the shelter incorporates unique accommodation, social activities, café facilities, skills workshops and professional support.
Offering the chance to make life-changing connections, Cotton Street is designed to bring people together. Our social recovery programme is a deliverable pathway, getting guests back on their feet to return to society.
Brian was down on his luck and sleeping rough in Liverpool. Lawrence was a successful hotelier and property developer. David was a self-proclaimed hippy in a dead-end job. Together they formed an unlikely alliance and created a homeless shelter like no other. This is the story of Kingsway House.
With the help of the NHS, Merseycare, council officials, agencies and the people of Liverpool, we’re stronger together, and can really make a difference.
Our long-term goal is to eradicate homelessness in Liverpool – but this can only be achieved by working together!
