  NOAH Enterprise is a charity which seeks to help the most disadvantaged in the local community, providing a practical, empowering and caring service to people who are struggling against homelessness and exclusion and have nowhere else to turn.


Dedicated to recognising the potential in people who are at the margins of society and helping them realise it, the organisation works with the whole person to find permanently and individually tailored pathways out of homelessness.

The consequences of the cost-of-living crisis and the aftermath of the pandemic means that the organisation expects to see increasing numbers of people seeking their help, and they are entering an exciting phase of investment to ensure that the charity is able to provide the support that has been so vital to so many people across Luton and Central Bedfordshire for the past 30 years.
