The Brick is an anti-poverty charity offering services to people who are at risk of or transitioning through homelessness, financial hardship or crisis.

We believe that no one should be defined by poverty or trauma. We see the reality of hardship every day in our local communities, and we recognise the harm it causes to individuals, families, and neighbourhoods. But we do not accept that this is inevitable.

Our vision is rooted in hope, dignity, and community. We walk alongside people as they rebuild their lives, offering practical support while also challenging the deeper causes of inequality and exclusion. In a world that is changing faster than ever, we believe lasting change requires courage, compassion, and new ways of responding to complex social issues.

As a grassroots charity, we are close to the realities people face – and with that closeness comes responsibility. We will speak up, share what we see, and amplify the voices of those with lived experience. By sharing evidence, stories, and learning from our work, we seek to influence systems and policies, and to contribute to a wider movement for justice, healing, and meaningful social change.
