Vision, Purpose, Values

Myrtle House

At Myrtle House, we believe in a future where no one faces hardship alone and everyone has the opportunity to belong, contribute, and grow. We are working towards resilient, connected communities where support is local, relational, and joined up — offering timely help in crisis and the guidance, skills, family and early-years support, and opportunities that build long term stability.

Alongside meeting immediate need, we focus on strengthening confidence, connection, and practical capacity across all stages of life so people and communities can move toward greater security and hope — together.

Our Vision

“A hopeful, resilient, and connected community where everyone can access the support, opportunities, and relationships they need to develop and reach their full potential.”

Building Community Strength and Stability

Myrtle House is a local community organisation strengthening stability and resilience through practical, joined up support. Our work brings together food support, early years care, money guidance, community meals, skills and wellbeing activities, and lived experience leadership in one connected model.

We support people facing immediate hardship through our Foodbank and Community Life Hubs, while also helping them access longer term pathways — including financial resilience, community connection, learning, and family support. Emergency help is a starting point, not the end of the journey.

Our services are shaped through partnership working and lived experience insight, so support is practical, respectful, and grounded in real needs. This is how we build community resilience — locally and for the long term.
