Andrew House, Clevedon
Andrew House is a Supported Housing project in the seaside town of Clevedon, North Somerset for men who have experienced trauma.
Andrew House, part of Changing Lives Charity, offers residential support to men as part of our Volunteer Plus support programme. We are empowered through Christian faith to provide an environment where those experiencing the results of trauma such as addiction, homelessness, mental health, and offending behaviours can find hope and a future.
Everyone deserves a chance to heal from past trauma and build a fulfilling life. By addressing the root causes of harmful behaviours, we empower individuals to break free from negative cycles and achieve their full potential. Understanding experiences of trauma helps us create better support. We listen to each person’s story and tailor our services to their needs, so they can work towards a positive future.
Through restoration and compassionate care, our innovative programs equip people with the tools needed to achieve lasting change, exceeding the limitations of short-lived interventions.
