Launchpad is Reading’s leading homelessness prevention charity. We provide vital information and support for anyone who doesn’t have a stable place to live or are at risk of losing their home.
We work in three ways.:
– We prevent people from becoming homelessness by offering a free, confidential drop-in advice service. Our drop in service is open to anyone, regardless of circumstance.
– Launchpad also provides over 100 homes for vulnerable people across Reading.
– We are also committed to rebuilding lives at our work and life skills centre – Launchpad 135.
Our free drop-in is open Monday, Wednesday, Friday – 10.00am to 2.00pm
You don’t need to be referred or book a time to come along – simply visit our offices in central Reading (down the alley on Friar Street at the side of Nando’s) during the drop-in service’s opening times and speak to one of our friendly, trained advisors.
