Ferry Project is here to help homeless people in Fenland - not simply to provide accomodation, but to give them the skills they need to live independently.
The Ferry Project is a registered charity in England (Charity Number 1075389). We aim to assist homeless single adults with love and a range of support on their journey towards independent living.
We have supported more than 3,500 people experiencing homelessness in the Fenland area since 1999. Based in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, we are the largest homelessness provider in the district — supporting around 80% of homeless people locally. Our services go far beyond a roof: we offer trauma-informed hostel support, employment and cookery training, access to health care, and a clear pathway from crisis to independent living.
We are an award-winning social enterprise and registered charity that provides emergency accommodation and longer-term help for homeless and vulnerable people in the Fenland area.
Founded in 1998 by members of Wisbech Churches Together, we responded to a need to provide accommodation to the homeless within the Fenland area. Since that time Ferry Project has supported nearly 3,500 homeless people.
