He helped us with resources, relationships and reassurance!   Resources: Ideas for reflective practice for helping staff cope with the strains of the job 'Tackling Hate Crime' resources from Homeless Link to help us respond to and prepare for events like the recent riots   Relationships: Senior team members were able to get to know a wise and knowledgeable senior leader in the sector and ask him questions directly Sharing our questions, thoughts and reflections together helped us grow closer as a team   Reassurance: There are no easy answers to the housing crisis in London and we are doing good work We are asking the right questions and Homeless Link are there to help!

It Takes TWO

I’m going to do something I don’t usually do. I’m going to try and tug your heartstrings to separate you from your cash. Many of you know that I’m a Scout volunteer in our local village. Our much-loved hut had to be demolished last month, having reached the end of its life. So we want to raise money to get a new one. But why should you fork out for this? Why is this cause more deserving than any of the myriad others that you’re asked to contribute to? Well, I think that a fit-for-purpose community facility has an impact by stealth. It isn’t a here-today gone-tomorrow kind of project. It can be a focal point and haven for a whole village, over many years – our previous building was in use from 1976, and saw generations of Scouts, Guides, playgroups, Sunday Schools, kids’ parties and many others under its roof. A properly-designed building that’s pleasant to use also attracts more volunteers, which means that more people can benefit from activities held there. Obviously, Scouts and Guides are open to every child, no matter what their circumstances. But I think they are particularly valuable for the neurodivergent kids who perhaps struggle to access other activities – something I have personal experience of. One of my proudest moments was presenting the Chief Scout’s Bronze award to a lad who’d previously been asked to leave other after-school clubs. So, to prove how much I personally care about this, I am going to put myself through 100km of non-stop misery, along the Thames Path. I'm fat and middle-aged with a dodgy knee, so it's not going to be easy. But if it was easy it wouldn't be worth doing, right? I have 705 connections on LinkedIn. If everyone donated just £1, that would take us a long way forward, and would take my mind off how much my legs are going to hurt at 78km. #Scouts #goodforyou https://lnkd.in/efR4urcE

In hiring spaces you are helping young lives and familes recieve vital support. Often familes may have more than one child needing support. By hiring spaces you are helping the lives of Carers the people that they support and siblings. Children and Young adults need to feel they are not alone and can receive help for mental health concerns quickly, growing friendships with their peers, gaining confidence to cope with difficulty. By hiring a room vital funds raised help our children and young adults in our Community find confidence and feel less isolated. NHS can you hire a room ? Social services? Church Away Days ? Staff well being day, getting to know your staff AWAY DAY? Aprentership promotion by local businesses? Just a few suggestions and of course a great wedding venue in the barn. Please support if you can🙂❤️🙂 Local Photographic groups could you hold your annual photographic exhibition here? ❤️

Yesterday, a subset of our Liberty IT Consulting team returned to Simon Community housing in Lisburn. We were invested - we had given the rear garden open space a good overhaul last year, and wanted to both see how it had improved, and see what else we can do to improve it. The morning started the same as last year - our co-ordinator gave us a talk about the vital services Simon provided. The statistics around homelessness in Northern Ireland are truly shocking: - 55000 people officially homeless; 1 person in 34! This number is higher, as there is hidden homelessness in the form of couch-surfing. - 80000 people waiting for social housing across Northern Ireland - Homeless has doubled since 2013 - Demographically, there is a significantly higher proportion of males who are homeless, they make up 2/3 of the number. - Female homelessness is on the rise, up to 33% However, there is good news too; - 433 tenancy agreements to date - that is 433 individuals/families who are moved into a more sustainable rental accommodation - 18 "Creating Homes" created - effectively building a turnkey home for individuals. Simon provides a lifeline for individuals and families who have been negatively impacted by the cost of living, the lack of affordable housing, and many other adverse life factors. We were privileged to witness this in action; while we were there, one of the residents was given a tenancy agreement, bringing the number up to 434, and a really emotional moment for all of us, as he told us his circumstances that lead to homelessness (escaping a domestic abuse situation), and that he had found love, and was now a home to build a new foundation. This was so inspiring. From the workfront, we were delighted to see that the garden was looking good, and had minimal improvements to make - we got to work weeding, replanting, cutting out some dead branches, hedging and painting. It was a solid days work, and as HAYLEY RUFFOLD said, it's the best form of Team Building!! Hope to go back again next year and continue to improve! Serve with Liberty is a fantastic initiative, and one of the best days of the year!
