Our impact

The difference your support makes

Behind every number is a person who now has a door they can lock, a bed that's theirs and someone in their corner. Here's what we achieved together last year.

Last year in numbers

Real change, every single day

250+ people supported into safe housing
40 supported bed spaces across our hubs
12,000 hot meals served last year
100% of workshop profits fund housing
100% of workshop profits reinvested

Where the money goes

Local money, spent locally

We're a North East charity with no national head office taking a cut. Donations, purchases and fundraising all come back to the same place — the people we support in County Durham and Hartlepool.

  • Supported housing and immediate access accommodation
  • Hub staff, outreach workers and counsellors
  • Training, materials and wages in the workshop
  • Meals, clothing, bedding and everyday essentials

I'd been on the street eighteen months and stopped believing anything would change. Cornerstone gave me a bed, then a job, then my own front door.

Beyond the front door

Support that sticks

Getting someone housed is the beginning, not the end. These are the numbers we care most about.

85% still in their tenancy a year on

Help us make next year's impact greater

Every donation, purchase and volunteer hour adds another person to the count.
