Homelessness: Reframed is a key part of @HomewardsUK’s work to change the narrative and challenge negative perceptions of homelessness.
Today we saw exactly what that looks like and how sharing stories through art is making a difference to people.
The doors symbolise the diverse paths to ending homelessness, & highlight stories of hope & resilience.
We invited all of the children & young people involved to visit the final pieces they helped create in @saatchi_gallery.
“In that car was everything I owned in the world. It was a bedroom, a bathroom & living room all in one.” @DavidTovey1975 spent months living & making art from his car.
Homelessness comes in many forms.
Homelessness: Reframed, @saatchi_gallery, 7 Aug – 20 Sep.
“Most of us have small, sad places in our hearts. My father felt deeply but kept his feelings to himself. Or rather, being a writer, he let them escape in his writing. And so such sadnesses as there were put on cap and bells and emerged as Eeyore.”~C.R.Milne #WorldMentalHealthDay

'Access is not the responsibility of the disabled person.
It is the responsibility of those who have created an inaccessible environment'
In 2023 there is no excuse to create/build anything that is not accessible to all
Yet still they do!
#accessibility
“Can you bring your own reader if you can’t see anything?”
“Can you have a family member interpret for you?”
“Do you have your own ramp?”
Access is not the responsibility of the disabled person.
It is the responsibility of those who have created an inaccessible environment.
Emergency Alerts is a UK Government service that will warn you if there is a danger to life nearby.

A VERY long shot…but if anyone was on flight BA177 from Heathrow to JFK yesterday (Tues 4 April) at 1.10pm and landing at 3.30pm and found this little fella, there’s a distraught little boy who would love to be reunited with him. Get in touch if you can help. Thanks

Lets get talking about why equal opportunities aren't enough.
People start from different places, so true inclusion and belonging require equitable action.

Wheelchairs are freedom machines. Don't you forget it. They're chariots of independence and aids to living for the millions who need them. My chair has helped me to do so much more than I could have otherwise. From this #AmbulatoryWheelchairUser, happy #InternationalWheelchairDay
Of all the #contextualsafeguarding qus we're asked, how to deliver welfare-based interventions into contexts & not simply displace risk is probably what we're asked most. So I'm beyond excited that my team has made this new responses catalogue. Pls RT & let us know if you try any
