A gap we couldn't ignore.
For years we've supported men facing homelessness and addiction in Stockton — but more and more women were coming to our door, often with nowhere else to turn. Since January 2026, Miriam has become an official, distinct part of our work.
Women's needs are different, and their trauma often shows up differently too. That's why Miriam gives women their own safe, gender-specific space, built on the same buddy support model that's worked for years at Moses.
Women aged 18+ across Stockton-on-Tees.
We support facing addiction, homelessness, trauma, mental health difficulties, food poverty, or exploitation. Many are care leavers, many are estranged from their children, and many have lived through abuse that statutory services have never fully addressed.
With local women's services shrinking, women are increasingly being classed as a “non-priority need” for housing. We support women in crisis, The Miriam Project exists to close that gap.
A full day of support, every week.
From the moment a woman walks through our door, support runs through the day.
Miriam is growing fast — and growing need means we need support to match it.

Miriam wouldn't exist without the funders who've backed us from the start.
