This fresh and icy morning brought inspiration as we walked along Blackpool’s seafront with 3 of our residents.

Each of them shared how the ‘Walk & Talk’ activity has significantly improved their mental and physical well-being, highlighting the power of connection and movement.

Poplar House is prepared for Christmas 🎄🎅

Christmas can be a hard time of year for people living in homeless hostels because it highlights their sense of isolation and lack of a stable home.

Our staff do everything to ensure our residents feel the warmth of the festive season

A Holly House resident, who is practising making desserts to add to their skill-set, along with a member of staff put together a strawberry and apple crumble.

Safe to say, the residents demolished this at great speed!!

A Poplar House resident who has been helping out Dave, our Maintenance officer in Sunderland, over the last week. Together, they've been giving Poplar House a freshen up, ready for Santa coming.

This is helping our resident occupy his time and he has been learning new skills 🖌️

"It's really good to let it out.
And it's really brave to be vulnerable.
And people respect it."

Such a beautiful response to someone opening up about their mental health 💙

Big love to Danny Jones for talking his anxiety on @imacelebrity - we know it'll help so many people.

On Tuesday, our residents raised awareness for anti-bullying week by wearing odd socks.

Bullying can lead to serious mental health issues, and can even result in people taking their own lives to escape it

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old,
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
