Our Facilities

The four private, emergency bedrooms in the Bradbury House Emergency Bed Unit provide a secure environment for vulnerable women, many of whom are affected by relationship breakdown, domestic violence and unemployment. Prevention of homelessness is one of the unit's key goals.

Some of those in need of an emergency bed are already homeless and at risk of serious physical, mental or emotional abuse. Others are on the verge of homelessness, and support provided in the unit, can help prevent the descent into long term homelessness or rough sleeping and its associated risks.

Women are given emergency beds for up to ten nights. Toiletries and food are made available and residents are given every opportunity to secure a safer and improved future. Women with issues such as alcohol or drug abuse, and mental or physical health needs, are referred on for additional, specialist help. Extra assistance is also provided to help identify and claim benefits they may be entitled to. The help we provide lasts for much longer than ten nights.

Residents are put in touch with key agencies and support networks or, where appropriate, are found long term beds within another Marylebone Project facility.
