We welcome the news that The Renters' Rights Bill has become law, securing a fairer future for 11 million private renters in England. Landmark legislation will abolish Section 21 ‘no fault’ evictions, ending a practice that has threatened thousands of renters with homelessness.

It's the penultimate day of Walkies, and Imogen has been taking part with her dog Wilbur. She said: "Every time we go into Reading I notice people sitting in the street and it makes me sad that they have no home ... we take what we have for granted, I just want to help them." ❤️

We may be enjoying mild weather right now, but as a homeless charity we are always thinking about anyone who is on the streets when the temperature drops. Thanks to Oracle for donating items for SWEP (severe weather emergency protocol) so we are prepared this winter.
