Edge Housing

Edge Housing offers a home, a hope, and a future for Oxford’s homeless.

We provide accommodation and support to over 30 residents at any one time, including recovery homes and rooms for those with no access to benefits.

We support our residents through one to one work, group activities, and signposting, with the aim to build self esteem, resilience and support networks which lead to recovery, employment and moving on to independent accommodation.

Education

God cares passionately about children and their futures, and he has led us specifically to invest in education. We are currently in partnerships with two schools, each with a different character but the same loving God at the centre.

Tyndale Community School

We are the founding partner of Tyndale Community School, a primary Free School in East Oxford, run by Oxford Diocesan Schools Trust.

Tyndale shares a broad, generous and inclusive Christian ethos, welcoming children and families from all faiths and none, inviting everyone to work together towards the good of the whole community.
