About us
St Giles is an award-winning charity using expertise and lived experiences to empower people who are not getting the help they need, held back by poverty, exploited, abused, dealing with mental health problems, caught up in crime or a combination of these issues. We enable people to overcome adversity through peer-based social action. The services we provide for 25,000 people each year cover help for vulnerable young people involved in or at risk of criminal exploitation, services helping adults and young people facing unemployment and poverty, help for vulnerable women and their families, prison and community-based support for people in the criminal justice system and specialist support for adults facing complex barriers. Many of our employees have been in the same circumstances and use their experiences to inspire and support those living through it right now. Being helped by someone who has ‘been there’ is powerful and underpins all of our projects.

St Giles reposted this
St Giles is a charity with a vision to create inclusive communities where the voices of those facing the greatest adversity can be heard, where opportunities flourish, and where positive futures are realised. In March 2024, they embarked on a Taith-funded journey, taking a group of individuals with lived experience to Norway. For the peers at St Giles, this was an opportunity to not only help these individuals overcome numerous barriers, but also empower them to view their lived experiences as a positive. Thank you to St Giles for sharing your journey with us! View the full case study here: https://lnkd.in/eecJMKzB
