Our Vision and Mission

Imagine if every church in the UK was actively involved in the fight against homelessness?

Our vision is to see Every UK Church engaged in ending homelessness.

Homelessness is caused by a blend of poverties. It's to do with a lack of resources, broken relationships and damaged identity. And we firmly believe that the church has a unique role to each of these problems.

Our mission is Empowering churches to take action to end homelessness through prayer, relationship and investment.

We believe that Homelessness ends in community, that's why our model invites investors to use the resources of wealth to provide which we, in partnership with local churches, turn into homes where lives can be transformed.

The friendship and community offered by local churches is at the heart of our model:

"It helps when someone's just prepared to sit and to listen to what you're going through."

Our story started in 2010 when our founders Ed and Rachel Walker bought the first Hope into Action house. 16 years later we operate in 38 locations with 134 homes. 2025/26 was the first year we've been able to house over 500 tenants, just one of the great statistics to be found in our 25/26 Impact report.
