Turning tides should close there doors for good because they are not interested in any one that is homeless
Trustpilot
They have no control or even want to support the homeless. I approached them about a lady unconscious just down from the shelter. I was told “if you’re worried about it. Call an ambulance”. You’re all in the wrong job and no human care in the world. Never move them on from locations they shouldn’t be. Allow them to litter and steal from the local community. The worst shelter that exists.

This organisation should be investigated they do not help the homeless I worked for them for years it’s just a money machine management are all friends and family it is a vile disgusting place neil reed you should be sacked along with your useless step daughter staff are not skilled most of them are straight out of a Asda and Tesco or a retail environment or even worse a stupid little girl that was a bar maid I mean really how can these people support the vulnerable I will be going to the charity complaints commission about them and exposing all the cover ups this organisation hides.

Last year, my wife who was 72, did a sponsored skydive for TT. She spent a lot of time and effort and managed to raise £1500 for them, of which she was justly proud.However, she has never had one word of thanks from them, either by phone or email.Needless to say any charitable work she does now will NOT be going to an ungrateful charity, ie TT.
