Equinox Care
Equinox is a charity that "exists to provide support, care and recovery to people who are challenged by exclusion, marginalisation and a range of needs for special assistance such as mental health problems and substance misuse. Our own service users have coined the term “forgotten people” to describe the section of the population that we are providing support to, in their thousands, each year.
"We operate across the South East of England, providing a range of different services that concentrate on assisting our service users to re-engage with the communities around them and to find effective strategies for dealing with the challenges facing them in their lives. These services include supported housing, outreach, street engagement and day services."[1]
