French term or phrase: Les Petits Riens
Context: In Belgium, an ex-convict talks about going to "Les Petits Riens" to find shelter and look for work.

"Les Petits Riens" is a nonprofit organisation helping people in need finding a job, food, shelter, etc. I was wondering if there was a similar social structure in the UK, or if I simply should leave it in French.

PS: The text is a script for a documentary.

Thanks a lot :)
