@SHPcharity
London-wide charity founded 50 years ago. We prevent #homelessness and help Londoners transform their lives.
- From supporting people in crisis to helping people take the final steps towards independence and employment, we make a difference to 8,000 lives every year.
- Go grab yourself a coffee! The first coffee shop on the London Underground staffed by formerly #homeless people has opened at Clapham Common Tube station! bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…
- Every day, we help Londoners get the support they need to leave homelessness behind. Here’s the amazing @Gailporter to tell you why a donation to us will make all the difference this Xmas. Homelessness isn’t inevitable and it came be ended -> shp.org.uk/donate
00:00 - Big thanks again to @davemorrissey64 and @MelissaHemsley for cooking up a storm yesterday at one of our Camden hostels! We are proud to support @felixprojectuk in their mission to reduce #foodpoverty and #foodwaste
- The #EndOurCladdingScandal campaign, which @insidehousing supports, has today sent a letter to Boris Johnson outlining the steps still needed to solve the crisis #UKhousing bit.ly/3rjmJIN
- Meet Christopher. He ran a successful business, but when the pandemic stuck, his work dried up, and he became homeless. Our winter shelter staff uplifted him and helped him into a place to call home. With a roof over his head, Christopher is positive and looking to work again.
- Good to see - proposals which would see homeless people face a £1,000 fine if they are found sleeping in tents have been dropped by Stoke council bbc.in/2Amn2ck
- We're delighted that @davemorrissey64 & @MelissaHemsley are joining us for lunch at one of our Camden hostels today - to celebrate our work with @felixprojectuk, who we're working together with to fight food poverty, food waste, and homelessness 💪
- Homelessness is different for #women. They’re more at risk of violence, abuse & exploitation than men, often staying hidden on sofas, buses & corners. That’s why this month we’ll be focusing on women and #homelessness because every women deserves a safe place to call home. 🏠
- Councils in England are keeping emergency shelters for rough sleepers open all week as temperatures are forecast to continue to sit below freezing every night bit.ly/2GQt5bd
- LANGUAGE MATTERS🗣️ #Homelessness isn't inevitable, and people experiencing homelessness shouldn't be defined by their situation.‼️ Everyone has the right to a safe and stable #home, and with the right support we can end homelessness for good.🏠
- Everyone deserves a place to call home. Yet, thousands of Londoners will be homeless this Xmas. It’s a disgrace. That's why this week, we launched an installation with @CPB_LDN, joined by the amazing @Gailporter, to highlight the capital’s homelessness crisis.
