Volunteering doesn’t just make a difference in your community - it can also help you take the next step in your career.

If you’re considering a career change into a frontline service, support, housing, health, social care or community-based role, volunteering can be a valuable way to strengthen your CV and gain relevant, practical experience.

By volunteering with our Winter Night Shelter Team (Project 58:7), you can develop and demonstrate skills that employers value, including communication, teamwork, empathy, resilience, safeguarding awareness and supporting people in challenging circumstances.

And most importantly, you’ll be making a real difference.

Last winter, our wonderful volunteers helped us provide safe shelter for 73 people.

This winter, we need more amazing people to join the team.

Let's bust some of the common myths surrounding homelessness.

Negative stereotypes don't help people. Understanding does.

By learning more about the realities of homelessness and challenging common misconceptions, we can create a community that responds with kindness, support and action.

Today on Plymouth Hoe, Victoria Allen, CEO of PATH, Anna Moss, CEO of The Zone, and Councillor Matt Smith met to discuss what £1.56 million of new government funding will mean for Plymouth.

At the heart of this investment is prevention - reaching people earlier, before housing problems escalate into homelessness or crisis.

24/08/2026

We’re delighted to share that Path and The Zone Plymouth have secured a combined £1.56m in Government funding to strengthen homelessness prevention and help more people get the right support before they reach crisis point.

For Path, the investment will help create Path Central – a new city-centre homelessness prevention and support hub with a new Homelessness Prevention Service offering earlier, direct access to practical housing support – due to open early 2027.

For The Zone, it will transform its Union Street building, creating a dedicated day centre for young people and expanding prevention work to help young people and families address housing difficulties earlier.

Together, this investment represents a major opportunity to change how homelessness is prevented in Plymouth - reaching people sooner, bringing services together and helping more people move towards safe, stable futures.

A huge thank you to everyone at Path, The Zone and Plymouth City Council who worked together to make this possible.

This week's announcement of a national drive to end rough sleeping by Christmas is ambitious, but that’s exactly what’s needed.

Victoria Allen, CEO of Path, said:
"Nobody should have to sleep rough, whether at Christmas or any other time of year. We see every day the damage that rough sleeping causes, and we know that people can and do rebuild their lives when they have somewhere safe to live and the right support for as long as it takes. We are already working on plans with partners across Plymouth to help make this ambition a reality.”

Today, Paula is studying Law at university and building a safe, independent future. 💙
