In 2022, we presented our newly developed app to organisations that work with homeless people. The response was incredible!
We were immediately asked whether the project could be scaled up to help even more people.
Here's how we're going to do it: https://t.co/5eJrQT9Hvv
Last week we held a really encouraging meeting with representatives from @NorfolkCC, @CAB_Norfolk and @AgeUKNorwich.
Over the coming months we hope to work closely with these partners to further enhance our mobile app and support with their work in the communities of Norfolk.
Campaigners believe that the most vulnerable in the UK will be even more worse off in 2023, despite £900 of fresh cost of living support. #CostOfLiving https://t.co/f3XxijUDYV
2022 started with us refocusing what we felt had become quite an overwrought project.
It has ended with a working prototype that meets many of the needs of our local charity and council partners.
In 2023, we hope to scale it up even further!

@AydinDikerdem Hi Aydin, thanks for sharing. If you'd be interested, we'd love the opportunity to take you through the new mobile app we are in the process of developing that aims to connect homeless individuals with local help and support services.
Since @UKLabour's local government elections victory in Wandsworth earlier this year, 23 additional homelessness prevention staff have been employed to help tackle the borough's homelessness crisis. (1/4)
Defending the spending, @AydinDikerdem, @WandsworthLab's Cabinet Minister for Housing said:
“It's not just morally the right thing to do, but also financially aims to save us in the long run as every prevention is a family avoiding expensive temporary accommodation" (3/4)
New data from the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities shows that rates of homelessness in the UK are now higher than there were before the pandemic in two-fifths of local authorities. #homelessness https://t.co/tr78Tjka2A
Figures from @Shelter reveal an 11% rise in homelessness in England between January and March this year, and a 5% rise on the same period in 2021. #Homeless#homelessness https://t.co/iE6XLZCQy2
