About us

The Good Shepherd was established by the Little Brothers of the Good Shepherd, a religious order who have supported the local community for almost 50 years. We deliver services in a way that makes people feel valued and always try to hear their voice.

Since 2003 we have provided a regular food service in the city and, more recently, have expanded the support we offer to include a day centre, meaningful activity programme, Housing First service and private sector supported lettings scheme. We also host a multi-agency hub bringing together a wide range of agencies including health, education, training, and support services.

At the Good Shepherd our staff are trained in Psychologically Informed Environments and Trauma Informed Care. We value lived experience and believe everyone has the capacity to change and achieve their full potential.

Because we’ve been in the city for so long and have a history of never giving up on people or turning them away, we’ve developed a strong reputation with people in the city and we’re proud of the trust we’ve built with the people that use our services, our partners, and the people of Wolverhampton.

What makes the Good Shepherd special is the range of partnerships and cooperation we have with other charities, community organisations, and funders. We’re passionate about collaboration and we’re ambitious for the people that use our services. Our vision is to end homelessness in Wolverhampton and create sustainable pathways out of poverty. Our mission is to ensure the most disadvantaged and marginalised have the support and opportunities they need to achieve their full potential.
