Inspiring words from Ryan Watt in Homeless Link’s opening plenary - “Ending homelessness is difficult, but we can do it together if we’re willing to learn.” #roughsleeping2023#builtforzero#endhomelessness
“While I’ve been in here, with you, I haven’t had to think about my life”.
Pamper Day for #IWD23 yesterday at @signpostsso in collaboration with the amazing Andy Sarsby Foundation. I have no words left. ❤️

The National Coalition for the Homeless estimates that 40%-60% of people experiencing homelessness are employed, sometimes working two or three jobs, and still not being able to afford housing. Others face various obstacles which inhibit their ability to find sufficient work.
The Bill will put a stop to this scandal – but we need MPs to back it
Email your MP now and ask them to back this Bill to stop rogue landlords exploiting people who need housing and support to leave homelessness behind.
