Thames Reach

Thames Reach is a London-based charity helping people affected by homelessness to find decent homes, build supportive relationships and lead fulfilling lives.

First up is Ash. After a difficult period of unemployment, Ash joined our Keeping in Touch team as a volunteer. What started as a way to stay active and give back helped him build new skills, regain confidence and get back into employment.

An Amber Alert remains in place for London this week as the #heatwave continues, with the capital recording its highest ever May temperature.

Extreme heat can be dangerous for everyone, but especially for people sleeping rough. See how you can help: https://t.co/A3ncpRh5dN

While any reduction is encouraging, sustained action is needed to deliver long-term change.
