Caring in Bristol

How does it feel when your home – your sanctuary – becomes a source of fear and stress? And what about if you don’t have a home at all? Our Early Doors partners, Housing Matters explored these questions with their former clients to create their new 60-sec film on housing insecurity. What do you think?

🌟 Supporting Our Community! 🌟 Here at Cogito we are proud of our ongoing partnership with Caring in Bristol, a charity working to tackle homelessness and provide essential support to those in need.

The BaseKit team recently took part in a 'Walk in my shoes' initiative led by Alv Hirst from our charity partner for 2024, Caring in Bristol. One of the questions we discussed was common misconceptions about homelessness and the false perception that it mainly impacts middle-aged men struggling with addiction. When in reality it’s young people, people of colour and the LGBTQ community that are disproportionately affected.
