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 more than 50 years. Our mission is to end homelessness, support recovery, and create pathways out of poverty. We deliver services in a way that makes people feel valued and always try to hear their voice.

We provide regular food services throughout the week including homeless outreach breakfast sessions, lunch time dining service and family food pantry. In addition, our services extend to practical support, interventions to relieve homelessness, one-to-one advice and guidance and a programme of meaningful activities and groups. 

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.
