Core Foundations was founded to address the issue of homelessness in County Durham and Hexham which we believe is made up of different forms of poverty:

• Poverty of Resources

• Poverty of Relationships

• Poverty of Identity

Core Foundations aims to be a Christian faith led charity where we recognise that the poverty of relationships is as important as the poverty of resources so we want to support those within the home with love and friendship alongside skills to give them hope for their future and empower them to live a fulfilled and independent life.
