We are Streetlife
Your support can change lives
Our mission
Established in 1984, Streetlife is an organisation which assists vulnerable young people in Blackpool, a lot of whom access our service as homeless.
“Our aim is to enable and empower them to make informed choices, about issues affecting their lives. We provide support – for those young people 16 to 25 – from The Base, our Day Centre, and Night Shelter, which serves as emergency accommodation for those who need it most.”
Our staff
Our staff team is made up of a variety of roles including specialist workers who can support young people with a range of issues. We also have a team of approximately 35 committed volunteers including several gap year volunteers from oversees.
Emergency Shelter
If you are in need of emergency accommodation our shelter is open 24/7.
