About
NOMAD began in 1989, driven by the determination and dedication of Jackie and Barrie. Jackie was a Sheffield single mum and Barrie was a single man experiencing homelessness. Both wanted to do something about the issues of homelessness that were prevalent in the city at that time. Requests for help were frequently met with a ‘NO’ which drove them both ‘MAD’. Hence the name NOMAD. NOMAD started in Jackie’s maisonette in Pitsmoor, run completely by volunteers. Over the recent years NOMAD has continued to flourish and develop, supporting more and more homeless people. Currently NOMAD has 72 rooms – 20 training flats and 52 private rented, with Four Trees Lettings looking into further properties to enable more support.
