1. Introduction – our vision
Everyone has a place to call home and
can fulfil their hopes and ambitions
Our values
We are empowering, inclusive, committed, creative, accountable
Our five year ambition
Our ambition is to reverse the increase in rough sleeping in England.
In the areas where we work, we aim to halve the number of people sleeping rough.

2. Introduction – our story
1969 St Mungo’s was founded to help rough sleepers.
2014 St Mungo’s and Broadway merged, becoming St Mungo’s Broadway. In 2016, we changed our name to St Mungo’s.
Today, we’re one of Britain’s leading charities supporting people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.
We are a delivery charity – which means we provide direct support to homeless people, not just talk about it.
We are a community housing association.
We have worked in Brighton and Hove since 2015.

3. St Mungo's Street Outreach
Street Outreach teams go out in pairs, or smaller groups, at night and early in the morning. They try to meet with people who are rough sleeping, to help people into accommodation.
We believe it is harmful, dangerous and ruins lives. That’s why we take a proactive and assertive approach to support people to move away from the streets and recover from the effects of rough sleeping.

4. Our Approach Our guiding principles are that we:
We keep the individual at the centre of all we do
We support, challenge and inspire people on the journey from street to home
We work collaboratively and in partnership
We are committed to best practice
We are passionate about innovation and taking positive risks
We are open to challenge and scrutiny
We do not give up.

5. Our Approach What is Assertive Outreach?
Assertive Outreach is not enforcement, it is about providing consistent, frequent and appropriate support to help individuals move off the street
It is about Partnership Working. Outreach services should build relationships with a wide variety of local partners to enable them to support individuals sleeping rough quickly and effectively.
Assertive Outreach also relies on accurate record keeping, to support clients and monitor trends.

6. Rough Sleeper Alerts
Our outreach teams respond to referrals for people sleeping on the streets overnight.
Public use StreetLink to make referrals.
