Great to catch up with @BenMacpherson to share findings from the first-year evaluation of #UpstreamScotland, our school-based prevention programme. Conducted by @ISPHERE_HWU, it shows 3/4 of those at risk of homelessness are flying under the radar.

As the weather gets colder and the dark nights draw in, all anyone wants to do is coorie in. We are asking for help to enable young people in Scotland to do the same - can you help to ensure that we can all coorie in this Christmas?

[Rock Trust @RockTrust_tweet]

*Coorie [küri] | verb | Scottish | To snuggle in and find comfort.

With your help, young people facing homelessness in Scotland can find warmth and safety this winter.

Just £20 can provide the gift of comfort 🔗 https://t.co/FbWDgkXRkG

📄 Our 2024 Prevention Pathway Review is published, and the findings are stark.

To mark #WorldHomelessDay, and on behalf of @AWayHomeScot , we’ve released a report tracking Scotland’s progress in implementing the Youth Homelessness Prevention Pathways.

@AudreyBirt @cdbirt Sorry for your loss. Thoughts are with you and yours.

And so it begins! Excited to meet colleagues from across Europe to share ways we can end homelessness. @FEANTSA @RockTrust_tweet #endinghomelessness #endingyouthhomelessness

We are proud to be delivering #upstreamscotland, alongside international colleagues. #Upstream is an innovative prevention programme which identifies and supports students at risk of homelessness, achieving a 40% reduction in youth homelessness in Australia. Link below for info

[Rock Trust @RockTrust_tweet]

It’s great to hear our new First Minister’s commitment to eradicating child poverty. Current levels are unacceptably high, at 24% of children last year in Scotland- this cannot carry on. We agree with @JohnSwinney that more action must be taken now.

[Kate Polson @RockTrust_Kate]

This is brilliant - congratulations @SamTsemberis

[FreekSpinnewijn @FreekSpinnewij1]

.@SamTsemberis named 1 of Time Magazine’s 100 most influential ppl. Well deserved, Sam!

Also in Europe his influence cannot b underestimated.

But, and I hope he will not mind me writing this, Housing First in Finland predates the version frm USA...😉
