St Giles Trust is a national charity and a global leader in using lived experience to drive meaningful social change. For over 60 years the charity has supported people who have been held back by poverty, exploitation, abuse or the criminal justice system, helping them transform their lives and build a positive future.
Operating across England and Wales from offices in London, Norwich, Cardiff, Leeds, Coventry and Wolverhampton, St Giles Trust delivers life‑changing services through three key pillars of work:
* Poverty: Tackling the root causes of poverty, providing both emergency relief and long‑term support to help people move towards independence and employment.
* Violence & Exploitation: Supporting those affected by violence, abuse, and exploitation, and preventing future harm through credible, empathetic intervention.
* Justice System: Helping people in prison and in the community to break the cycle of disadvantage, rebuild their lives, and access positive opportunities.
The majority of the team has lived experience of the issues their clients face, which informs the charity’s compassionate support. Independent research has shown that for every £1 invested in St Giles’ work, society benefits by £10.
