About P3

tear drop shape

At P3 Charity, we believe in people. We believe in the power of potential. And we believe that – with the right support – anyone can create new opportunities for themselves.

That’s where we come in.

P3 is a national charity dedicated to changing lives for the better by providing vital support, opportunities and a sense of belonging. Each year, we support over 30,000 people through a wide range of services, including:

  • Housing advice and support
  • Budgeting and financial guidance
  • Children’s and youth programmes
  • Family support services
  • Mental health support
  • Access to stable housing

Our work is made possible through funding from central and local governments, the NHS and the generosity of local businesses, donors and community partners. Behind it all, a dedicated team of hundreds of staff and volunteers make a real difference every day.

Whether you’re a landlord looking for a partner to support reliable tenancies, a volunteer or donor eager to contribute, someone looking for your next career or someone looking for support, we’re pretty sure there’s a place for you at P3.

Because at P3, people always come first.

Our History

P3 is committed to achieving Net Zero carbon emissions by 2050.

Climate change poses an ever-growing threat to humankind. The science is clear: Without action, our planet could see a three-degree temperature rise by the Century’s end, leading to severe weather, air and ocean pollution, wildlife extinction and rising sea levels.

As an organisation, we cannot sit around and watch that happen. In the interest of the people we support, our stakeholders, our colleagues, volunteers and people living in the communities in which we serve, we have a responsibility to act now. That is why we have made a commitment to ensure we will achieve Net Zero carbon emissions by 2050 (latest) across all our operations.

In 2019, as an organisation we declared a Climate Emergency and published our first climate action plan, which was followed by our first Carbon Reduction Plan in 2022. In 2024 we began our partnership with TreeApp, which plants a tree for every new colleague who joins P3 (and there are a lot!).

Our Carbon Reduction Plan

We change lives, every day. Your support helps us to ensure that we can.
