[Wellington AFC @Wellington_AFC]

We have been deeply saddened to learn of the passing of club supporter George Govier.
A minute’s applause will take place before our Reserves’ home game today and again before our next first team match at the Playing Field.
Our thoughts are with George’s family and friends.

Utterly repulsive. A promotional video showing the arrest and detention of terrified and innocent people ahead of the planned removal to Rwanda. Shame on this government, and shame on every single individual involved in making and promoting this video. You disgust me #humanity

[Kerri Douglas @KerriDouglas18]

Do you ever wonder why a 13 year old would sleep rough?

Please check out my book, I can promise it will unlock so much understanding as to why someone would choose #homelessness

It’s no #lifestylechoice @SuellaBraverman

Our client and expert by experience Miracle spoke to LBC for this article. For the last seven months he's been living in a hotel miles from his networks.

Temporary accommodation is in crisis - we need urgent action.

@Uchenna_Eneke @ShelterLDN And last but not least the highlight of the event was hearing from @KerriDouglas18 who spoke to her own experiences of sleeping on the streets in Westminster and what those in power can do to change things

Well done Kerri, keep doing what you’re doing

[Catherine Govier (she/her) @GovierCatherine]

Was lucky enough to attend the launch event on Monday and wow what can I say…

Outsiders captures the grim reality of homelessness in this country and elevates the voices of those surviving on our streets and in our substandard accommodation

Please encourage your MP to visit

[Catherine Govier (she/her) @GovierCatherine]

It was lovely catching up with @Uchenna_Eneke who has done so much work with @ShelterLDN to share her story and make her voice heard, always with a smile on her face

[Paula Barker @PaulaBarkerMP]

Lovely to speak to @JayneSeckerSky alongside @matthew_downie from @crisis_uk about the brilliant exhibition in Parliament today by @MarcDavenant.

The exhibition highlights not only the problems faced by people sleeping rough across the country, but also their individual stories

[Mick Whitley @MickWhitleyMP]

Today, I will be hosting the launch of @MarcDavenant's Outsiders exhibition in Parliament, a powerful exploration of the homelessness crisis.

Here, @crisis_uk's @matthew_downie and @PaulaBarkerMP explain why MPs need to confront the unseen realities of homelessness in Britain.

Thank you to @NALC for nominating Wellington Town Council as a finalist for the Star Council of Year award

It was a pleasure to attend the ceremony and congratulations to all the winners

[Catherine Govier (she/her) @GovierCatherine]

If you can’t get to the exhibition, you can get the book:

‘Outsiders is a glimpse into their world – in their own words. This is their testimony to the hardship they face – the hunger, discomfort, uncertainty and danger’

[Catherine Govier (she/her) @GovierCatherine]

Congratulations @MarcDavenant and thank you for putting together such an important exhibition

From the very start of the project, you put people and their experiences at the forefront of everything you did

Safe housing should be a minimum but this project shows the reality
