Who Are We?

Framework is a registered charity delivering housing support, health, and employment services to people with a diverse range of needs. We assist rough sleepers and those who need help to keep their home. We support excluded youngsters as they make their way into adulthood and those starting or returning to work. We provide access to treatment for people with mental health issues and those using alcohol or substances, and we join up services for homeless people with multiple and complex needs.

Through 70 services across East Midlands, Framework is both a safety net and a platform for change. Each year, more than eighteen thousand people approach us for help. Responding to their needs, respecting their choices, and empowering them to achieve, we aim to make life better for our service users and those around them.
