About Shiloh

Shiloh is a Rotherham-based charity supporting adults who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Guided by the values of the Christian faith, compassion, dignity, and hope are at the heart of everything we do.

Named after the biblical town of Shiloh - a place of refuge - our charity exists to offer a safe, welcoming space where people are accepted, respected, and supported. We provide free support without prejudice, ensuring everyone who comes to us is treated with care and understanding.

Our dedicated team of staff and volunteers works closely with partner organisations to create meaningful opportunities that help bring about lasting, positive change. We walk alongside each person who comes to Shiloh, working together to plan for and realise a more stable and hopeful future.

Mission, Vision and Values

  • Our vision is for everyone to have a safe place to call home and have the opportunity to live independently with a good quality of life.

  • Our values are reflected in the way we run the organisation and deliver our support services.

    • Empowerment  We encourage guests to take personal responsibility for making positive changes in their lives
