What we offer

The Foxton Centre is a Preston-based charity with a long history and strong commitment to working in the local community with both adults and young people. About Us
Many people we work with are homeless, often rough sleepers, but they don't fit neatly into pre-defined boxes. Homelessness is often combined with poverty, addiction and mental health issues. About Us
Homeless people are often passed around other service providers, or fall through the gaps between other established services. From the street into accommodation we are there with a range of services. About Us
Our approach is based on treating and respecting people as individuals, working with them rather than judging them, helping them to move forward with their lives. We are persistent and don't give up on people. About Us
