Nearly 100 colleagues from @LBGplc walked 12 miles through Belfast in support of people facing homelessness across NI. Each carried a symbolic key, representing something everyone deserves a safe place to call home. 👉 Find out how you can help: https://t.co/B6CllRIpCt

Absolutely spot on!

[@SimonCommNI @SimonCommNI]

We believe homelessness shouldn’t be inevitable.

When people are supported early with compassion and practical help, outcomes can, and do, change.

This is why prevention matters, swipe through to learn more.

A poignant reflection from Elaine, one of my colleagues at Simon Community. Worth taking a moment to read

[@SimonCommNI @SimonCommNI]

“What if it were us?” is the question Elaine, at our family service, has carried for 22 years. Today 4,730 children in NI are in temporary accommodation. Even then parents put their children first. Read Elaine’s words and ask yourself what you’d do: https://t.co/Axlca97Ci5

@NIAuditOffice @SimonCommNI Brilliant to have you with us! Many thanks for your support 👏

[NI Audit Office @NIAuditOffice]

Recently NIAO staff took part in @SimonCommNI #WorldHomelessDay #OneBIGSleepOut at Stormont. With 1 in 31 people across Northern Ireland currently experiencing homelessness, the team joined others in raising awareness of this critical issue

[@SimonCommNI @SimonCommNI]

Tonight on #WorldHomelessDay people are coming together for #OneBIGSleepOut at Stormont. Across NI 1 in 31 are currently facing homelessness. While this event doesn’t replicate homelessness it does send a powerful message - that no one should face it alone.

[Jim Dennison @JimFDennison]

Yesterday we demonstrated that becoming homelessness is a journey, one that starts for many people in childhood. Ending homelessness isn't just about the provision of houses - it's also about seeing the signs of people already on that awful journey to prevent it ever happening

[@SimonCommNI @SimonCommNI]

Homelessness doesn’t begin with losing a home. For many, it begins in childhood. 66% of people in hostels faced multiple traumas, 1 in 4 were homeless before 18, and 74% live with mental illness. Read more about Simon Community newest report here: https://t.co/p1o8twD13j

[Jim Dennison @JimFDennison]

Brilliant event! Really looking forward to it!

Poverty drives homelessness. Yet the Anti-Poverty Strategy is not fit for purpose and does not provide a pathway to positive change. We need an urgent rewrite of the Strategy. Read our consultation response here: https://t.co/Iw9JGnGvdA

For Colleen, being a Support Worker in Newry means helping people through crisis, celebrating the small wins, and finding purpose in every day.

A career with Simon Community is more than a job, it’s about changing lives.

@NI_CRC Why is no one sharing or liking this? Surely now is the time to support and celebrate better community relations? Why is CRC so quiet? @sinnfeinireland @duponline @allianceparty @uuponline @SDLPlive
