At Derby City Mission, we believe in providing not just shelter but a place of compassion, community, and transformation. The Ark is our newest addition, standing as a beacon of hope and support for the homeless community in Derby.

Introduction To The Ark:

The Ark is a remarkable project that represents our dedication to combating homelessness. It's a space that's more than just bricks and mortar; it's a place of compassion, restoration, and a promise for a better future.

Our Vision:

Our vision for the Ark was simple yet profound: to create a welcoming, secure, and supportive environment where individuals experiencing homelessness can rebuild their lives. We aimed to go beyond the provision of basic shelter, focusing on holistic transformation.

Key Features:

• Emergency Accommodation: The Ark boasts eight bedrooms with shared facilities, including a comfy living space, kitchen and wash area. It's more than a place to sleep; it's a place to rebuild lives.

• A Joined-Up Approach: The Ark has been built alongside our brand-new café and community shop and next to our existing Safe Space; together, they offer individuals a place of warmth and comfort, along with a chance to build new lives.

Our Journey:

The journey to establish the Ark wasn't without its challenges, but it was marked by unwavering community support, generous donors, and the belief that we can make a difference.

Impact:

Since its opening earlier this year, the Ark has already been a place of transformation for many individuals who have sought shelter and support. Through this project, we've not only provided a roof over their heads but also the hope and opportunities needed to reintegrate into society.

How You Can Help:

We firmly believe that it takes a community to combat homelessness. Your support, whether through donations, volunteering, or raising awareness, can make a significant impact.
