Social Bite’s Post

Personal post alert... and it is a bit hard hitting ❓ Did you know that the average age of death for people experiencing homelessness is 46 for men and 42 for women... ❔ Homeless people are over nine times more likely to take their own life than the general population. ❓ People sleeping on the street are almost 17 times more likely to have been victims of violence. More than one in three people sleeping rough have been deliberately hit or kicked or experienced some other form of violence whilst homeless. People have even been set on FIRE. ❔ The statistics show that one third of care leavers become homeless in the first two years immediately after they leave care and 25% of homeless people have been in care at some point in their lives. I am not only a care leaver, but have personally been homeless and at risk of homelessness many times in my younger years – so raising money for this great cause is also somewhat personal. All donations are so very much appreciated, and I am looking forward to seeing just how much I (we) can raise this year! 🙏

It is random act of kindness day today, acts of kindness should be done everyday but having a day can be used for supporting good causes and making genuine differences in peoples existence. Jaclyn Ristic is raising money to support the homeless in Lincoln. Shelter has found that those who sleep rough every night has risen by 26% in the last year and with more financial uncertainty and the cost of living crisis this is expected to continue to rise. Many people released from prison are released homeless as there is not housing or any form of accommodation available in many areas. It really is a postcode lottery to whether you will be released onto the streets or into some form of shelter. Please be kind to those on the streets, everyone has a story. And if you can spare some money to support those who are homeless and ensure that the money will be spent fully on support and positively follow the link below. https://lnkd.in/egV9APv3

Expanding Housing First initiatives can significantly support charities like Newbury Soup Kitchen in housing our clients. Housing First offers a pathway to more sustainable outcomes for our clients. Rather than solely providing temporary relief, Newbury Soup Kitchen can collaborate with Housing First programs to facilitate the transition of our clients into permanent housing. This allows us to focus its resources on other essential services, such as providing meals and outreach. Sadly, this service is required now more than ever with the increasing rise in homelessness across England. Through collaboration and a shared commitment to housing as a fundamental human right, Housing First can support our clients find a long-term solution to homelessness. #notjustsoup
