EXECUTIVE SUMMARY greenpastures.co.uk

Green Pastures is a Christian social enterprise that was founded in 1999, and we’ve been chasing one ambitious goal ever since: ending homelessness.

We started from a local church in Southport, offering a home to those in need on our doorstep. Since then we have empowered churches and Christian organisations nationwide to house more than 10,000 people over 24 years.

While the homelessness crisis is huge, we’re optimistic. We have seen amazing changes in people simply by giving them a key to their own home. We currently house and support over 1,500 people We do this through a network of 100 local Partners, who offer ongoing support to those in need. Our work is funded through investment; Our ethical scheme pays a return to investors and in return their funds enable our work to end homelessness.

We are seeing lives changed and transformed As our Residents are loved and supported, they move away from homelessness and towards hope and a bright future. Many find new life in Jesus and we see hundreds come to know Christ each year.

This document is an introduction to our ministry and operating model, and the people who enable our work housing and supporting those in need.
