About North Herts Sanctuary

We are a 17 bed night hostel, providing temporary accommodation for homeless people. Residents are entitled to a hot evening meal, breakfast and a packed lunch. The hostel amenities include showers, washing and laundry facilities and TV room.

North Herts Sanctuary also provides day services to help address the social and health needs of service users. Those using the shelter are assessed for issues such as drug and alcohol dependence, mental health and relationship problems. They are then provided with counselling, advice and a means of referral for treatment. Residents are also given help with regard to finding a permanent home and currently 85% of them move on to live in their own accommodation. They can still attend the Sanctuary on a daily basis for training and guidance sessions. Several have also become volunteers at the Sanctuary.
