Our mission and goals

Barka UK is committed to assisting homeless people in our community. Our mission is to empower severely excluded people to regain their independence and dignity by social integration. We also offer support for their personal development through education and entrepreneurship. Prevention services are in place to help people avoid homelessness.

The aim is to improve health and well-being of destitute persons in our society, through education and improved community programs. We have developed  a life-changing training programme that uses employment as the lever, and tackles some of the underlying issues behind people being unable to find and keep work.

RECOMMENDATIONS

John Downie

Singles Project Manager, London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham
‘Charities in the UK offer many opportunities that generally meet the needs and expectations of homeless people, but do not require a commitment to make a difference. This encourages service users to choose the path of least resistance. (...) The Barka system enables the development of programmes in which waiting for a free lunch is not what counts, but contributes to the formation and development of mutual interactions’.

Roger Roberts

The Lord Roberts of Llandudno
‘I have found Barka UK to be both reliable and consistent in their work and would therefore wholeheartedly support their grant bid to enable them to further develop the work and forge cooperative relationship with other services providers in their field.’

Guy Arnold

Rough Sleeping Commissioner, London Borough of Camden
‘I am writing to offer our warmest endorsement for the work of BARKA UK in supporting Non-UK Nationals from Eastern Europe who are street active in Camden. Having met with BARKA Camden anticipates a constructive and meaningful collaboration between our organisations to support the most vulnerable individuals on the streets of Camden. These shared values and ambitions offer an excellent opportunity to develop safe and sustainable voluntary reconnections re-connections for this vulnerable cohort.’
