A Greater Change is made with your support

Jane Jones

“Greater Change helped me with moving into my flat. I moved from the psychiatric hospital to shared accommodation and then I got my own flat. I was starting from scratch. The money from Greater Change went to a washing machine and blinds for the window because my place was a shell. It was a smooth process because my support worker helped me with my application. The money made moving a lot more comfortable and I could wash my clothes and close my blinds."

Leigh Midwinter

“I have been homeless now for over a year. I have been living in temporary accommodation in Gloucestershire as there was no space for me in Oxfordshire. I was dumped into an extremely inappropriate accommodation. I find it hard with people and social situations anyway so being around a volatile atmosphere with fighting and drug use, just frightened me and made my problems worse. Luckily after 3 years I was offered help by Aspire and Greater Change. I have now been lucky enough to be offered a property back in West Oxford. I can now look forward to getting my life back on track.”‘
