Right now more than 2000 people are sleeping rough in central London. Homelessness is not inevitable - with the right support in place, people do recover. Everyone deserves a safe and secure place to call home. If you agree please comment, like, share this #WorldHomelessDay

We are deeply saddened by the passing of John Pudney. John led the SCU, purchasing St Martin’s House, where he lived alongside clients. This extraordinary commitment shaped the values that still guide our work today. We remember his grounded, compassionate approach to his work.
