We're thrilled that journalist Simon Murphy has won the #OrwellPrize for Reporting Homelessness. It was a privilege to work with Simon as he covered the stark reality for women who are rough sleeping, with his powerful front-page story in the #DailyMirror.

Every year, our #SportProject throws a #SportsDay bringing together hundreds of our clients and staff for a day of joy and fierce (but friendly!) competition! This year, we’re doing it all over again. More cheers. More camaraderie. More moments that remind us why we show up.

2025 marks 50 years since we were founded by six men who were homeless - and who refused to accept things the way they were. A lot has changed since 1975, but our ethos hasn’t. We’ve stayed true to our roots, fuelled by the same tenacity and compassion that defined our founders.

Today marks 20 years since the 7 July attacks – a day that changed our city forever. We remember the 52 people who lost their lives, the hundreds injured, and everyone whose lives were torn apart. Our hearts are with all those still carrying the weight of that day.

New research shows that Black people are 4x more likely to face homelessness than white people – and less likely to access social housing. 📊 It’s the first major study on racism and homelessness in over 20 years. But these truths aren’t new – and the injustice runs deeper.
