Safeguarding for housing-deprived people

Homelessness itself is the archetypal example of 'social exclusion' It has become normalised in people's minds, to our shame. Even those suffering the injustice often feel it is the norm. This collective mindset must change.

Everybody counts or nobody counts; always all ways.

Our aim is to create a groundswell of opinion and action in favour of change, "homes for ALL"

"Home is a feeling of safety, trust, continuity and stability that permits the physical, emotional and psychological well-being necessary for experiencing friendships and relationships. It is a central point in our lives from which other activities like work, friendships and relationships can be experienced and developed. It is also a unique space, place or area through which individuals define themselves and allow themselves to be their true self. A space or place, that allows them to feel anchored into their society and equal to or able to mix with their peers."
