It’s ⁦Rick Henderson⁩ introducing the day at #HomelessLinkConf - and yes he’s opening with “hard times but we’re still here”. Are we heading for a time when we don’t all start with those words or similar? He’s excited so that’s a good omen

Excited to be at the #HomelessLinkConf today to discuss the enormous challenges our sector is facing, the opportunities we may see under a new government and how we can better collaborate to end homelessness.

We were delighted to attend #HomelessLinkConf today, huge congrats to speakers and contributors 👏 The team (and wider sector) are excited to see what a change of government can do for people who are sleeping rough, and what the detail of the cross-party strategy contains.

The #KingsSpeech is an opportunity to get us on track to ending homelessness. Govt can end the criminalisation of homelessness by finally scrapping the Vagrancy Act. After 200 years, its time for change. We've written to Govt with Crisis and 28 others crisis.org.uk/about-us/media…
