Our Background
SOS was founded with a clear purpose:
to provide safe, secure, and compassionate accommodation for individuals and families facing emergency or temporary housing needs.
With deep roots in both the domestic and commercial property sectors, our team brings years of hands-on experience in transforming unused buildings and land into high-quality living spaces that meet the highest standards of care and compliance.
​
We’ve built strong partnerships with local authorities, landlords, developers, and government agencies collaborating to respond swiftly and responsibly to the growing demand for emergency accommodation.
Our work is grounded in a deep understanding of the challenges our residents face, which is why we place trauma informed care and safeguarding at the heart of everything we do.
​
We recognise that many of those we support have experienced significant hardship, loss, or trauma. Our team is trained to respond with sensitivity, professionalism, and empathy creating environments that not only offer shelter but promote safety, stability, and healing. Our safeguarding policies are robust, and our welfare practices are designed to protect the dignity, rights, and well-being of every individual in our care.
​
From the beginning, SOS has stood for more than just providing properties, we stand for building trust, fostering hope, and delivering practical, people-first solutions that make a lasting difference.
Our Mission:
Our mission is to deliver safe, high quality emergency and temporary accommodation to individuals and families in urgent need quickly, compassionately, and responsibly.
We are committed to transforming underutilised spaces into secure, well maintained homes, while managing facilities with care and ensuring the wellbeing of every resident.
Through transparent communication, strong partnerships, and a personal, respectful approach, we aim to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we support and the communities we serve.
Our Vision:
Our vision is to be a trusted leader in providing safe, compassionate, and high-quality emergency and temporary accommodation where every individual facing housing insecurity is met with dignity, respect, and support.
​
We aim to transform unused spaces into secure homes, working hand-in-hand with local authorities, landlords, and community partners to deliver rapid, reliable housing solutions.
By prioritising resident welfare, transparent communication, and long-term collaboration, we strive to create environments that offer more than just shelter they offer stability, care, and the foundation for a better future.
​
Driven by purpose and guided by values, we envision a future where no one in crisis is left without a place to call home.
​
