Clockwise Credit Union reposted this
In a world where we wish there was no need to have a #Worldhomelessday and #Worldmentalhealthday (both 10th October) representatives from support agencies met at Blaby District Council yesterday where we heard from four brave men their lived experiences of being homeless. They eloquently relayed their personal story to really bring home the challenges of being #homeless and effects on #mentalhealth in a world "where all any one of us wants is to belong and feel recognised for the contribution each of us can make, or could make, with the correct support, to society and to live contently." I was priviledged to represent Clockwise Credit Union and to meet and chat with James and Kian and network with those present Action Homeless Leicester, Falcon Support Services, Norton Housing and Support, The Bridge (East Midlands), Turning Point, Rachel Hall, @farzana Patel, NHS, Leicester City Council, Leicestershire County Council, Beam, Nottingham City Council,Homeless Link, Charnwood Borough Council, Mark Grant, Morgan Harries, @Russell Dale, @Laura Heffernan, @Mariesa Illiffe, Dave Burrell, Stephanie Gray, Noel Singh, Dear Albert and more, many thanks @LLR Homelessness Alliance, Rachel Hall and team for organising!
