Congratulations David. Great to see a friend of Homeless Link in Parliament. Good luck!

Day 1 week 3 St Martin-in-the-Fields Charity & great to be joining colleagues across the homelessness sector Homeless Link Conference. Looking forward to discussing how together we can tackle the challenges of rising homelessness & respond to the opportunities of a new Government #HomelessLinkConf

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



Great to represent #AtHomeInGuernsey at a UK conference with the major homelessness charities today. Networking and stealing ideas galore at #HomelessLinkConf with CEO Charlie Cox!


The awesome Polly Neate telling the audience at Homeless Link #HomelessLinkConf that we can’t let the new government off the hook when it comes to housing and homelessness





Great final panel Homeless Link Conference bursting with ideas & solutions to reduce homelessness: more social housing, lower rents in hostels to support working, reformed & reintroduced Supporting People programme, end to Shared Accommodation Rate, clear Govt leadership & more!
