Society of St James

Society of St James

The Society of St James is an English charity based in Southampton, providing accommodation with care and support to homeless and vulnerably housed people. The Society began in 1972 by establishing a night shelter for homeless men and establishing a soup run in the city.

The Society now manages over 25 projects, with over 180 people being housed at any one time. The Society also runs several projects supporting people in the community, and an employment and training project based on computer recycling.

The Society is a registered charity and became a Housing association in 1998.
