St Anne's Community Services

St Anne's aims to deliver excellent support, care and housing services which promote independence, opportunity and inclusion.

The Organisation was founded in 1971 in response to the growing number of homeless and socially excluded people in Leeds. Since that time St Anne's has grown into one of the largest voluntary sector providers of social care in Yorkshire and the North East. We hope to continue to develop the types of services which truly provide independence, opportunity and inclusion where our skills and expertise allow.

St Anne's was formed originally to work with people who were homeless and excluded. Our first service was shaped around what these people said they needed. This focus on service users being central to what we do and how we develop is core to what we do today.

We now provide a range of services for people who have experienced homelessness, mental health problems, problems with substance misuse or who have a learning disability throughout Yorkshire and the North East of England.

From our small beginning in 1971, the organisation has grown and developed to become a major provider with a turnover of some £30m and employing approximately 1200 staff.
