Community Voluntary Service provides support to Bedford Homeless Partnership.
Membership of Bedford Homeless Partnership is open to all groups and organisations who are involved in service delivery with, or are passionate about homeless people in Bedford, and individuals with direct experience of homelessness.
The partnership doesn't believe that one organisation has all of the answers, or that there should be a one-size-fits-all approach to homeless support. They recognise that the issues that cause someone to become homeless are complex and believe that as different charities and groups unite together we’ll be getting closer to ending homelessness in Bedford.
Are you at risk of becoming homeless or already homeless?
For adults, if you are at risk of becoming homeless or already without accommodation in Bedford Borough, the first point of contact should be with Bedford Borough Council’s Housing Options service.

Are you worried about someone you have seen sleeping on the street?
If you have seen someone sleeping rough on the street and are concerned about their welfare you can simply report it via Streetlink, which is available in both a mobile app form as well as a website.
CVS Bedfordshire administers a small grants programme, providing up to £1,000 for capital items and specific projects in the Borough of Bedford. This grants programme is only open to member organisations of Bedford Homeless Partnership.
