We'd like to take a second to thank Adam and the entire team at Reel Film for their hard work to bring 'Amy's Story' to life.

To have the support of a local business has made the experience all the more special ❤️

Make sure you check out their other work!

In just the space of two weeks, one of our amazing team turned Leon"s life around.

These are the wins that give us inspiration every day.

We've just experienced a cold snap which saw temperatures as low as -7c. Whilst that's thankfully now over, there's still weeks of Winter ahead of us

Here's what you can do to help someone experiencing homelessness this Winter. 👇

[Simon on the Streets @simonotstreets]

We spoke to BBC Look North about the humanitarian effort that's going on in Leeds and Bradford to get as many people out of the cold as possible.

A big thanks to everyone for their collaborative effort this week 🤝

"Please look after me, I'm without a home".

A record 159,000 children homeless in temporary accommodation – up 15% in a year.

More than 56,000 primary school children homeless in England this Christmas.

We need these figures to come down in 2025.

[Simon on the Streets @simonotstreets]

Our job is to get people in a better place than they were when we first met.

And so, comments like these mean the world to us 💛

[Simon on the Streets @simonotstreets]

Canvasman dropped into the office to donate a box of heavy-duty bags for those experiencing homelessness in Leeds and Bradford.

The bags included custom-made pads for seating, and will be incredibly useful for those who we support. Thanks so much for your generosity 👏

[Simon on the Streets @simonotstreets]

What you see on the streets doesn't tell the full picture.

Beyond that is cramped and unfit for purpose temporary accommodation, people surfing on sofas, and no permanence.

Last week one of our team received these touching words.

Our outreach workers undertake life saving work; helping people rebuild their lives day in, day out.

[Simon on the Streets @simonotstreets]

After 3 years of support, one of the people we work with now has their forever home! 🏡💛

The best Christmas present of all.

[Simon on the Streets @simonotstreets]

Our Christmas Appeal has so far raised £10,175 - thank you so much! 🎄

Your kind donations will help us continue to carry out our vital work over Christmas and into the coming Winter months.

A sobering stat ahead of Christmas.

Imagine the impact of being homeless at such a young age. We must stop this being the reality in England.

[Simon on the Streets @simonotstreets]

Yesterday we spent the day at @trinityleeds to raise awareness of rising homelessness across our region, speaking to people about the work we do.

It was great to meet some of you and we had some really heart-warming chats and donations 👏
