Our culture
At the centre of our culture is our shared belief in making a positive difference in the lives of people who experience homelessness or rough sleeping. We’re driven by pride and passion for what we contribute to our communities in east London. Being sustainable, ethical, and responsible are important parts of who we are. We’re also passionate about making Your Place inclusive and welcoming. 🏡
Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging 🌈
Every single one of us brings something important to the organisation. There should be no barriers to us realising our potential because of who we are or where we have come from. Therefore, our work on diversity, inclusion, and creating a feeling of belonging is so important to us ❤️. It sets out the kind of organisation we want to work for.
We take a collaborative approach and collective ownership of our ambitions, with our People team working closely with Your Place's vibrant and engaged faith networks ✨ and our Belonging Committee, to define our approach and to celebrate our rich and diverse team 🎊.

About Your Place
Your Place where homelessness is solved one person at a time.
Your Place is much more than somewhere to call home. We work one-to-one with people experiencing homelessness, helping them to regain their self-belief and rebuild their lives. We can’t end homelessness for everyone overnight. But we can solve it one person at a time.
We run two main services from our base at 81 Barking Road - our core hostel (which accounts for approximately 80% of our bed spaces) supporting people experiencing homelessness with low to medium support needs, as well as our intensive support service for people who need extra help on their journeys.
You can find out more about how we help people by visiting our website.
