Green Pastures partnered with us right at the start of Hope Housing. Their belief in our vision enabled us to start and over the years we have been able to help hundreds of homeless people off the streets.
Hello! We are so grateful for you choosing to invest with Green Pastures. Because of your investment, alongside more than 1,520 other investors, we are able to help change the lives of more people than ever before, and we continue to grow our partner network to enable local charities and churches to house and support those caught in homelessness.
We recently passed the milestone of 1,500 residents who have a safe and secure home every night thanks to your support. We work right across the UK with our network of 100+ local partners who offer help and support to those most in need.
Thank you for choosing to invest with us.
HOMELESSNESS ON THE RISE
Tragically there are hundreds of thousands of people facing homelessness of many types across the UK.* The affordable housing shortage, cost of living crisis, and pressures on local services means that this number is likely to rise.
At Green Pastures, however, we believe that a future without homelessness is possible. By continuing to invest with us, you enable us to equip, encourage and support local churches and Christian charities to meet the growing demand and run transformative, high-quality supported housing projects in their area - changing lives every day.
We’re here to help make a difference in the lives of people who have experienced homelessness, people like Chris.
“I came here a shell of a man” said Chris, who arrived at our training centre Mattersey Hall after a troubled childhood lead to drug addiction, prison and homelessness.
Over the last year, Chris has grown to become a mentor at Mattersey. Healed of passed traumas, with an amazing faith in Jesus, Chris has gained all the tools he needs to go and make a difference, including qualifying with an NVQ Level 3 in Health and Social Care and completing an internship as part of the team at Mattersey Hall.
Chris leaves Mattersey on 7th August, “I came with nothing, but after 365 days of persevering with God, now I’ve got hunger and I’ve got a drive. I’m leaving with everything I could possibly need.” Chris is off to make a difference working with a ministry in Scotland, and his life continues to get even better: he also gets married on the day he leaves Mattersey Hall!

A key step towards restoration for our residents is moving into supportive employment. We have just launched a new joint venture with our friends at Grace Enterprises employing people who have experienced homelessness to make delicious biscuits that make a difference.
“THIS IS THE FIRST THING THAT I’VE EVER ACHIEVED.”
DELICIOUS BISCUITS ARE ONLY HALF THE STORY OF OUR NEW VENTURE...
Alongside that huge resource of the bricks and mortar came the very practical help and expertise that enabled us to provide quality supported housing with a high level of excellence.
