At SMART CJS, we provide a lifeline for people experiencing homelessness or at risk of losing their home.
Our services are designed to offer immediate relief in times of crisis, while helping people take positive steps towards stability and independence.
From warm meals and safe spaces to expert housing advice and long-term support, we meet people where they are, without judgement, and work alongside them to rebuild their lives. Every service we offer is rooted in compassion, dignity, and the belief that everyone deserves a safe place to call home.
The SMART Prebend Centre in Bedford is a safe, welcoming hub for anyone experiencing homelessness, rough sleeping, or in urgent need of support. Here, people can access essentials such as hot meals, showers, laundry facilities, and clothing – alongside a listening ear from our dedicated team.
It’s more than just a place to meet immediate needs; the Centre is a gateway to specialist help. Our staff and volunteers connect people with housing advice, health services, and ongoing support, giving them the tools and confidence to take the next steps towards a more secure future.

Kate’s Place is a supported accommodation project in Bedford, offering women a safe, stable environment to rebuild their lives after experiencing homelessness. The service provides more than just a roof – it’s a place where residents can regain confidence, develop essential life skills, and plan for the future with the guidance of our skilled support workers.
Each person has a tailored support plan, helping them address challenges such as securing permanent housing, managing finances, and improving health and wellbeing. At Kate’s Place, we believe in creating a community where women feel valued, empowered, and ready to take the next step towards independent living.
Residents at Kate’s Place can also take part in regular activities that encourage relaxation, creativity, and social connection.
