Greater Change

We are delighted to be highly commended in the Demonstrating Impact Excellence Award by Homeless Link, for our work at Greater Change! This award highlights the clear evidence of the effectiveness of personalised cash grants in supporting our clients out of homelessness for good and saving local authorities millions of £ in temporary accommodation costs. Our evidence-based approach has successfully helped over 900 individuals overcome homelessness, with 86% of those we supported last year moving into stable, sustained housing. In the coming years, we will continue to demonstrate the significant impact of our work, and we strive to shape local practice and national policy to implement personalised cash grants throughout the UK. A heartfelt thank you to Homeless Link for this commendation!

We love hearing from our partners, who refer to us clients for whom receiving a personalised cash grant will have a transformative impact. The wonderful support workers at our partner charities, like Pal at Galop allow us to do the work we do and we're so grateful for their continued support!

As poor health precipitates homelessness, addressing homelessness requires improving access to healthcare. Simultaneously, making health care more easily accessible, and investing in community services outside of hospitals will substantially improve community health and is a crucial element of improving the financial wellbeing and quality of NHS services, by reducing pressure on the system.

Jakub is a former client, who received £760 to help him move into stable housing after being released from prison, and prevent the risk of re-offending. Often times, people need a one-off financial boost to help them secure or maintain a tenancy, having a transformative impact on their life. With our support, Jakub was able to maintain stable housing, reintegrate into society and pursue full-time employment.

We were thrilled to attend the 2024 Strategic Corporate Charity Partnerships Conference in London yesterday! It was a great opportunity to speak to corporates about their charitable aims, hear about innovative partnerships between sectors, and meet so many charities doing invaluable work. As a charity providing personalised cash grants to help people move out of homelessness for good, we are always on the look out for corporates with a shared aim of working together to address the homelessness crisis in the UK.

Samara arrived in the UK as a refugee and was sofa surfing after being unable to find accommodation. She has since managed to secure housing through the council but her flat is unfurnished and unsuitable to live in. Samara needs our support to raise £187 for vital furnishings, so she can settle into her new life in the UK, pursue her education, and find part-time employment.

October 10 is World Homelessness Day. With 146,430 households threatened with homelessness this year and 11,993 rough sleepers on London’s streets between April 2023 and March 2024, homelessness in the UK has reached record-highs. Often times, people face insurmountable financial barriers on the pathway out of homelessness. Whether it’s clearing arrears, helping to pay rental deposits, purchasing essential furnishings to sustain tenancy, or funding employment or education courses, personalised budgets are an effective way of helping people out of homelessness, with a relatively small financial boost having a transformative impact. Today is an opportunity to raise awareness of and draw attention to the needs of people experiencing homelessness around the world. This World Homeless Day, make a donation to a live campaign and help support someone out of homelessness for good. https://ow.ly/wz3e50TGzwe
