SWEP activated in London! ❄️ We're here and fully prepared to ensure people sleeping rough stay safe this winter. You can too! Report rough sleepers to @StreetLink_ : thestreetlink.org.uk Calling 999 in a medical emergency. 🚑 🔗 Learn more about SWEP via LINK IN BIO
As temperatures plummet, the Severe Weather Emergency Protocol (SWEP) has been activated. Extreme cold weather is threatening the lives of people sleeping rough on our streets. To support people, we’re offering extra bed spaces in our centre, and extending opening hours.
Join us 6pm on 28 Nov - Stone Nest, 136 Shaftesbury Avenue when clients & students from Royal Academy of Music perform. The evening also gives attendees a chance to speak with clients about how creative empowerment has affected and changed their lives. RSVP to [email protected]
Currently, we're supporting 14 women at St. Martin's House. This means they have a safe space to live with access to 24/7 support Explore how this project is changing lives 👇 connection-at-stmartins.org.uk/st-martins-hou… #EndingHomelessness #TheConnection
Today is #WorldHomelessnessDay and we're ready to take over social media to share stories of #hope and #recovery It's not too late to join us! Simply share, like and comment to help us spread the word 💙 #WorldHomelessDay2024 #WHD2024
Right now more than 2000 people are sleeping rough in central London. Homelessness is not inevitable - with the right support in place, people do recover. Everyone deserves a safe and secure place to call home. If you agree please comment, like, share this #WorldHomelessDay
Nearly £1bn is set to leave the homeless sector in April. Inaction will put vital services at risk & leading to a surge in homelessness Our letter, signed by 75 of our members, calls on @RachelReevesMP to act on the cliffedge in the upcoming AutumnBudget theguardian.com/society/2024/o…
Jade faced a tough choice: give up her child or leave her home. She chose the latter and, with our support, found a safe place to live. Now, she’s thriving and planning to help others overcome mental health challenges. Discover more: connection-at-stmartins.org.uk/success-story/… #TheConnection
Huge congratulations to Trustee Alex, who ran the Victoria Park half marathon yesterday, raising more than £1,000 for the Friends. If you want to support her efforts, you can donate via her JustGiving page justgiving.com/page/alexandra… #endhomelessness
(1/2) 🧵 Nearly 500 people experiencing homelessness have been arrested by police in England and Wales since the Government pledged to replace the Vagrancy Act.
Right now, demand for accommodation for people rough sleeping vastly outweighs supply in Westminster. We’re also seeing Hostels being lived in for months and years, not weeks as intended. To fix this, we need urgent investment into social housing 👇 connection-at-stmartins.org.uk/general-electi…
That's amazing! Well done!
Thanks to Everyone who sponsored me.
When asked, 91% of the people we work with shared that they were using substances but 41% are not accessing support for this. We’re working to make treatment more flexible and less conditional. Learn more and take action through our advocacy work here: connection-at-stmartins.org.uk/advocacy/?utm_…
I am on my way to this. I am very familiar with Lewes and am really looking forward to being there soon.
