Chris Belyavin from The Gingerbread Centre

The Gingerbread Centre was established in 1977 in Stoke-on-Trent, providing 24 hour supported accommodation for homeless lone parent families from across North Staffordshire. In 2014, we extended our service to include couples with children. We also work with partners across Stoke-on-Trent & North Staffordshire to provide floating support to families in the community at risk of homelessness.

The families we accommodate include:

• Lone fathers
• Lone mothers
• Teenage mothers
• Single pregnant women
• Couples with children
• Teenage couples with children

We accommodate the most disadvantaged families with complex needs and recognise that homelessness is not the only area to address.
