St Mungo's

We’re here. On the streets. Every day and every night. Rain or shine. Helping people bounce back from homelessness, for good. We’ve launched our first brand advertising campaign – We’re Here. We’ve known for years at St Mungo’s that public profile is key to achieving our ambitions. We’ve also known that we’ve had some catching up to do, with public perceptions not matching the extensive work we do on the frontline. This year a perfect storm of the right timing, insight data and agency partners Red Stone and Medialab Group, has made this campaign possible. The creative focus is on our positive action, with the simple message that we are there when people need us, which is deeply true to us and what we want to be known for. This site opposite the Old Vic Theatre is one of our favourites. If you’ve always wondered what we do, now’s the perfect time to find out more. https://lnkd.in/e5_BAixZ #Homelessness #RoughSleeping #CharityComms #StMungosIsHere #Advertising

On this World Homeless Day, we’d like to give a shout out to our brave corporate supporters who took on the challenge last week to abseil for homelessness. These supporters descended 200ft down the iconic Senate House, taking in an experience and breathtaking views that they’ll never forget. Huge thanks to Colliers, Ashfords LLP, London LGPS CIV Limited, Regular Cleaning, Queensway, Kaizen, Baker Hughes and Thomas Miller 🧡

In June, 50,000 of you signed our call for the government to extend and uplift essential funding for rough sleeping services. Last week, we published a joint sector letter to the chancellor, asking for the same thing. But the Government has still not committed and this funding hangs in the balance. In just six months, the Rough Sleeping Initiative (RSI) funding is due to end. This will put 1/3 of our critical rough sleeping services on a cliff edge – as well as the lives of the people who rely on them. In a few weeks the Government will announce the Autumn budget. This issue must be addressed. Now is the time for the government to respond. Email your local MP today and urge them to renew funding for rough sleeping services: https://lnkd.in/exAHJggH

Autumn is well and truly underway, bringing with it storms and dropping temperatures. Rough sleeping is dangerous all year round, but in wet and colder weather, the health risks are so much higher. If you're worried about someone you've seen sleeping rough, please contact StreetLink to refer them to local outreach services. https://lnkd.in/evTVUYBK #EndHomelessness #Homelessness #RoughSleeping

"Today’s sobering statistics point to the scale of homelessness and the challenge ahead for national and local government, as well as charities, in tackling it." - Emma Haddad, St Mungo's CEO. Government statistics have revealed a shocking 8% increase in homelessness, as the cost-of-living crisis and lack of affordable housing continue to bite. Along with 22 other homelessness organisations, St Mungo's is calling on the government to protect vital funding for homelessness, which is due to end in March 2025.
