Yesterday we spent the day at @trinityleeds to raise awareness of rising homelessness across our region, speaking to people about the work we do. It was great to meet some of you and we had some really heart-warming chats and donations 👏

A sobering stat ahead of Christmas. Imagine the impact of being homeless at such a young age. We must stop this being the reality in England.

Our Christmas Appeal has so far raised £10,175 - thank you so much! 🎄 Your kind donations will help us continue to carry out our vital work over Christmas and into the coming Winter months. Help us give the gift of hope this Christmas at justgiving.com/campaign/sotsc…

After 3 years of support, one of the people we work with now has their forever home! 🏡💛 The best Christmas present of all.

Last week one of our team received these touching words. Our outreach workers undertake life saving work; helping people rebuild their lives day in, day out.

What you see on the streets doesn't tell the full picture. Beyond that is cramped and unfit for purpose temporary accommodation, people surfing on sofas, and no permanence.

Canvasman dropped into the office to donate a box of heavy-duty bags for those experiencing homelessness in Leeds and Bradford. The bags included custom-made pads for seating, and will be incredibly useful for those who we support. Thanks so much for your generosity 👏

Our job is to get people in a better place than they were when we first met. And so, comments like these mean the world to us 💛

"Please look after me, I'm without a home". A record 159,000 children homeless in temporary accommodation – up 15% in a year. More than 56,000 primary school children homeless in England this Christmas. We need these figures to come down in 2025.

We spoke to BBC Look North about the humanitarian effort that's going on in Leeds and Bradford to get as many people out of the cold as possible. A big thanks to everyone for their collaborative effort this week 🤝

We've just experienced a cold snap which saw temperatures as low as -7c. Whilst that's thankfully now over, there's still weeks of Winter ahead of us Here's what you can do to help someone experiencing homelessness this Winter. 👇
