The Marie Trust has been responding to the complex and often challenging needs of people affected by homelessness, poverty, and social exclusion since 2009. We place primary value on respecting the dignity of every person who uses our services and aim to help them improve their quality of life in a more resourceful, fulfilling, and sustainable manner. We do this through building trust and doing what we say we will do and following it through. Conscious that the vulnerable people we support often have experienced historical trauma and rooflessness and where trust, honesty and realistic expectation are vitally important in what support we can and cannot provide, and where we will refer to a more specialised service if we cannot meet the needs someone urgently requires.
