I’m so proud of this impactful film and all those involved in creating it. Please donate if you can, your donation will be doubled and it make a huge difference to those we support who experience homelessness.

On #WorldHomelessnessDay I am privileged to attend the Leeds “A Summit for Change” and an event at the House of Lords. Both powerful reminders that joined up support and listening to those with lived experience must shape how we tackle homelessness. @changegrowlive

Amazing afternoon with the fantastic services in Leeds ❤️

It’s about PEOPLE

❇️Humanity

[Lesley Howard @LesleyHowardCGL]

How amazing that our workers @changegrowlive had the opportunity to speak directly with the Deputy Prime Minister about the urgent need to tackle homelessness in England. Real change happens when lived experience and evidence based support come together to shape policy.

[Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Gov @mhclg]

The government is determined to tackle homelessness.

But we know it wouldn’t be possible without the extraordinary staff and volunteers in delivering vital services locally.

Our message to them; thank you.

Nearly £1bn is set to leave the homeless sector in April, putting vital services at risk. 

On #WorldHomelessDay we’ve joined 75 other organisations in signing @HomelessLink's letter to @RachelReevesMP calling for action in the AutumnBudget.

I think that’s a wrap for a day of interviews. Hopefully landed the point that criminalising homelessness is pointless & wrong.
