About Threshold

Threshold Housing Link is Swindon's Homeless Charity. We aspire to end homelessness in our town, but until that is possible, we work tirelessly to help vulnerable people mitigate the worst effects of homeless. We provide high-quality supported accommodation and undertake outreach services to support rough sleepers. We offer professional, person-centred support to those threatened with or experiencing homelessness. We offer integrated pathways of care for those experiencing substance dependence or having unmet mental health support needs which may have contributed to their homelessness in order that they have a chance to change their circumstances for the better.

Who are we?

Threshold Housing Link, commonly know as Threshold, has been Swindon's Homeless Charity for over 40 years. It all started in 1972, by a group of local individuals known as The Swindon Cyrenians (AGAPE), that used to rally together, offering soup to those found rough sleeping on the streets. Over the years, the charity has grew and changed. The Swindon Cyrenians became Thamesdown Housing Link in 1998 and in 2004 Thamesdown Housing Link became Threshold Housing Link. However, the charity's intention have always remained the same; to support homeless individuals in Swindon.
