    • Using a strengths based approach, our staff work collaboratively with each person to understand their challenges, identify their goals, and support them in shaping their own path forward.

    Our Strap-line is 'Opportunity for Change'. Staff work holistically to empower clients towards positive change and enduring outcomes in their lives.

    Our Integrated Approach

    To address the complex challenges surrounding homelessness, The Forge Project and North Lincolnshire Council’s Housing, Rehabilitation and Recovery Team are committed to delivering a more comprehensive and integrated service. This collaboration aims to streamline support, reduce duplication, and improve outcomes for individuals across North Lincolnshire.

    The Integrated Hub's aims and objectives are:

  • Promote recovery and rehabilitation
  • Enable access to support, housing, education, training, and employment
  • Access to specialist partner agencies
  • Support individuals to live independently
  • Encourage participation in leisure and community activities

    This integrated way of working enables us to undertake a holistic assessment and immediate, coordinated action. Collaboration across services ensures no aspect of a person’s wellbeing is overlooked and helps build stronger, more trusting relationships between professionals and the people they support.

    • Our Hub Environment

    The Integrated Hub is designed to be a safe, welcoming, and accessible space where people can connect with support in a dignified and comfortable environment. The Hub includes:

  • A warm, welcoming space with shared areas and private consultation rooms
  • A by appointment service for structured support
  • Drop in access during agreed opening hours for first contact or arranged meetings with outreach and housing teams
  • Confidential meeting rooms for professionals and visitors
  • A focus on improving wellbeing, quality of life, and opportunities for personal growth.

    • Mental Health Advice

    Mental health support is a vital part of our service. An integrated Counsellor attends three days a week to provide:

  • One to one mental health support
  • Low level group interventions
  • Help with managing low mood and anxiety
  • Confidence building and problem solving
  • Support to engage with wider mental health services

    • Afternoon Activities

    To promote wellbeing, social connection, and personal development, we run weekly afternoon activities:

  • Monday: Board Games
  • Tuesday: Arts & Crafts
  • Wednesday: Games
  • Thursday: Gardening

    • These sessions offer structure, enjoyment, and opportunities to build confidence in a relaxed, supportive environment.
