First Fruit Accommodation

First Fruit has two hostels for single homeless men, and a house for women and their families, in Newham. Access to the men's hostels is through Referral Agencies only. We are not currently taking referrals for the women's house, but plan to do so in the near future.

Descriptions of the hostels, and a referral form - which should be used for either of the men's hostels - can be downloaded using the links at the foot of this page.

The Christian Care Centre This is a jobs-led hostel for men aged between 18 and 24. Situated in Forest Gate it has nine single rooms, and residency is on the basis of licences. Our resident managers and visiting staff provide extensive support to the residents to help them into work and move-on accomodation. For more information on the Christian Care Centre call 020 8519 1454 or send an email

Second Stage Hostel This is a jobs-led hostel for men over the age of 18 with lower support needs who are some way on towards independent living. The residents are given assured shorthold tenancies. There are no on-site members of staff, but First Fruit managers visit and work with the residents on a regular basis. For more information on our second stage hostel call 020 8519 1454 or send an email

Women's House

Our first women's house was officially opened on the 1st of August 2007. The house is situated in East Ham, and First Fruit is partnered in this venture by the Newham United Reform Church Group, owners of the property.

The house is for women who have young children and who need a safe and affordable place to live. Like our other two hostels it is intended as short-term accommodation. Our aim is to provide these families with the support and structures that will enable them to grow in their stability, and prepare them for independent living.

For more information on our women's house please telephone 020 8519 1454
