Supported Housing
Our supported housing gives the opportunity for low level ex-offenders to regain a standing back in the community after a period of being in prison. PEOPLE are looking to expand on housing in the coming months but at the moment we currently have two houses that are run by the project under close supervision. For more information about this service or to apply for supported housing, please e-mail tymon@peoplelimited.co.uk As part of our social disadvantage program. PEOPLE are supporting a Bristol based project KBW (Keep Bristol warm) this year to help Bristol's street sleepers stay warm during December You can find more information on this great project by visiting www.facebook.com/keepbristolwarm |
C.O.A.S.T (Community Outreach Advisory Support Team)
We have developed an idea called C.O.A.S.T to be set up in Paulton and Peasedown St John on alternative weeks, for 2 hours each time. The programme will be a free service available to all residents of the Paulton and Peasedown communities, offering advice which focuses on benefits, budgeting, housing and general support in any capacity. This is a unique community outreach service that is easily accessible and requires no appointments. From the initial meeting, we are able to offer continual support through the P.E.O.P.L.E charity, rather than only during the specified C.O.A.S.T hours. This will be an informal service, which will give tailored support to each individual’s needs.

PEOPLE also run two busy charity shops in the area. One based in Radstock and the other in Midsomer Norton.
The Midsomer Norton branch also doubles as our head office, this is where we meet our beneficiaries on a daily basis and where we mainly hold assessments for our housing provision. All finances raised through the charity outlets goes directly back into the charity fund to help keep our houses in a good livable condition and also helps maintain our shops.
We also run a collection and delivery service for donations that are too big for customers to bring in their cars.
We do not charge for collections but deliveries carry a £10.00 charge, this money helps fuel the van and pay for it's insurance and for any repairs that may need to take place. Our collection and delivery service runs within a 5 mile radius of the shop in Midsomer Norton and takes place every Thursday
The shops can take electrical items, these are tested for electrical safety by a qualified electrician which are then certificated to say they are safe for re-sale, we never sell any electrical item that is not safe for use.
PEOPLE run a no-refund policy. Understandably, as we are a charity, offering refunds can dramatically effect our income. We will always offer a credit note for items which are faulty, you can use this note to purchase any other item in either shop without time limits
