Welcome To Mayday Trust
Mayday Trust works with and for people from all backgrounds and experiences but who need support to live independently. We have two strands to our work – providing long term housing and services to people with learning difficulties and offering transitional supported housing and outreach services to homeless people, people experiencing family breakdown or people moving from prison, care, or hospital.
We work with people who may have issues with drugs and alcohol, who experience mental health problems, eating disorders, young mums and people who have experienced homelessness. Anyone can access our services if they consider they want or need help to live independently.
What we do
Our service offers individual one to one work as well as advocacy and mentoring, group programmes focusing on life skills for independent living. People are supported to volunteer and get involved in Mayday as well as accessing education, employment and training through our partnerships and focus on community integration.
Mayday's supported housing schemes offer accommodation with a mix of single and shared units. We currently work across Warwickshire, Bedfordshire and Northamptonshire but are interested in extending our work beyond these three counties.
Mayday Trust celebrates positive start for 2012 : Planning permission granted for new site at St Andrew's Road, Bedford
Plans to convert a former independent nursery received unanimous support when they went before Bedford Borough Council’s Planning Committee recently.
The new development will involve the conversion of the former nursery into supported housing for local people experiencing mental health issues. The property will be redeveloped to a high standard, providing 19 self contained flats as well as communal living areas.
