Having somewhere to live matters. So does being listened to.

At First People, we provide supported accommodation for men, alongside practical support to build confidence and independence.

That could mean getting into a routine, keeping appointments, managing money or working towards a personal goal.

We take time to understand what matters to each person, so their voice helps shape the support they receive.

Because having support should also mean having a say.

Domestic abuse can affect someone’s confidence, sleep and mental wellbeing — and men’s experiences can go unseen or unheard.

At First People, supporting men affected by domestic abuse is part of our work. We’re sharing this message from The Empower Project to help raise awareness and make support easier to find.

If this feels familiar to you or someone you care about, visit empowerproject.co.uk to find out more.

You don’t have to face it alone.

💜 October is recognised as Domestic Violence Awareness Month in the US and marked by organisations internationally.

While the UK doesn’t have an officially recognised awareness month, we’re joining the conversation to raise awareness, challenge stigma and highlight support.

At The Empower Project, we’re shining a light on how domestic abuse can affect men’s mental wellbeing — including the impact that others may never see.

You might look fine to everyone else, while feeling constantly on edge at home.

Domestic abuse can affect your confidence, your sleep and your mental wellbeing. Repeated threats, humiliation, isolation or controlling behaviour can leave you questioning yourself and feeling afraid.

You don’t need a visible injury to deserve support. And you don’t need to have everything worked out before asking for help.

Contact The Empower Project to talk about what you’re experiencing and explore your options.

Two days of learning in Stirling 💙

Our CEO Wendy attended the Alcohol Research 2026 conference at the University of Stirling on 6–7 October.

With plenty learnt and lots to reflect on, Wendy has new insights to bring back to the First People team as we continue developing the support we provide.

Good food and beautiful surroundings were a welcome bonus! 😊

Thank you to the organisers and speakers for an informative two days.

Learning more to support people better 💙

Our CEO Wendy is at the University of Stirling today and tomorrow for the two-day Alcohol Research 2026 conference: “New Thinking, New Directions”.

It’s an opportunity to hear about alcohol research, exchange ideas and consider what new thinking could mean for the people we support.

At First People Housing, we recognise that everyone brings different experiences and challenges. Continuing to learn helps us better understand those experiences and develop the support we provide.

We look forward to hearing Wendy’s reflections when she returns 💙

The people behind First People 💙

Every conversation, every welcome, every bit of support — there’s a team making it happen.

From supporting people as they rebuild their lives to keeping our homes and office running, every role matters. And Milo and Teddy bring their own special kind of support too 🐾

We couldn’t do this without you. Thank you for the care, commitment and kindness you bring every day.

Different roles. One team.

Managing a home comes with plenty to figure out — bills, appointments, paperwork and everyday routines.

At First People Housing, our Support and Development Workers help men build the skills and confidence to manage these responsibilities.

That includes knowing when to ask a question or get some support. You don’t have to have every answer to move forward.
