REMEMBER THE '4S' THIS WINTER ❄ SHELTER - STABILTY - SAFETY - SUPPORT As winter fast approaches are you starting to think about the homeless? For many who sleep rough, they are acutely aware of what they don’t have and that is SHELTER - STABILITY - SAFETY - SUPPORT. People that are homeless lack resources. They often lack motivation too as they are disconnected from their families and friends. People that are homeless disassociate meaning that they can’t stay warm. They are exposed to the elements and simply have to put on more layers. The reality is that they are susceptible to death. A fact that you may not know is that many homeless people die in their 40s. They often die alone because they have become so isolated and alienated from society they intentionally hide themselves away. How can you support them? It doesn’t have to always be about money. It can be about remembering their face, checking in on them, saying hello, alerting local services to where they are to keep them safe and not so invisible. Relationship breakdowns are often the catalyst for homelessness. Being a friend might give them the confidence to overcome those hurdles to finally climb out of homelessness for good. TAKE TIME TO THINK ABOUT THE HOMELESS THIS WINTER !!!! #homeless #homelessness #winter #safety #stability #shelter #support

Happy Friday Everyone? How has your week been? We have had another productive week. Checkout some of the property upgrades we have been on with. This time we have been in #Blackpool. It is important to us that our tenants live in environments that they feel safe and comfortable in just like this one here. This supported living property is currently being refurbished using some government funding that we secured. It has had new flooring, new plumbing and heating, a new kitchen, a new bathroom and redecoration. There is still some minor works to complete in the property.
