SELIG (SUFFOLK) TRUST

We provide services for people who are homeless. We serve and respect all people regardless of their gender, age, marital status, sexual orientation, race, ethnic origin or religion. We are a Christian-based charity. Our staff and volunteers come from a wide range of backgrounds. Some share our Christian faith and some do not but we are united by a desire to serve those in need.
