Cranstoun offer a wide range of services across England, including community-based and residential substance misuse services, supported housing, specialist services for young people and families and carers, and domestic abuse services.
Our skilled and compassionate teams work with service users, families, and communities, helping them to make positive changes. We’ve been making a difference since 1969 by combining our expertise with innovative approaches and putting people at the heart of what we do.
Our Housing Lead Worker Service will support victims/survivors of domestic abuse and their children, as they are often forced to leave their homes as a result of the domestic abuse.

We also work with key strategic partners to help address other social related issues, such as benefit/welfare, helping to maximise people’s incomes, signposting to relevant primary and secondary health care services and more.
