Rebuilding your life after homelessness takes time. That's why we provide support and encouragement to our hostel residents, celebrating achievements like keeping up with rent and housework through our resident award scheme that recognises their efforts.

This week supporters and friends came together at the House of Lords - kindly hosted by Baroness Alison Suttie. Privileged to join ⁦Porchlight⁩ and colleagues to celebrate 50 years of service. #proudtoworkforthisorganisation

Pychota! 🧑‍🍳 We’re being treated to amazing meals made by a Polish client who enjoys cooking for other residents. When he cooks, we'll hold a communal dinner in our hostel. It's a chance for people who've been homeless to come together and feel included.

Porchlight worker Theresa recently received this lovely thank you card from a client we've supported through one of our hostels. 💜

A huge thank you to the 17th Sevenoaks (Westerham) Scouts who recently raised a fantastic £469 for Porchlight by running a hot dog stall. Your support will help transform the lives of people who are facing or experiencing homelessness.

Homelessness or mental health struggles can make you feel invisible to the rest of society. When people are rebuilding their lives, it's important to let them know they are valued. We're encouraging them to vote today for a party of their choice - because their opinion matters.

Now we are calling it not just a housing crisis, it’s a housing emergency 🚨 Homelessness is increasing at alarming rates and policy initiatives are merely small plasters on a huge wound. Political change needed urgently! #homelessness #emergency theguardian.com/society/2024/a…

We got Lee (aged 11) tickets to The Lion King - Musical to say well done for overcoming his fears. Until recently, Lee was consumed with worries about something terrible happening to his family. He's been working with our mental health service for young people to overcome these fears.

🗣️ Almost two thirds of people in destitution live with a chronic health condition or disability. Cutting people’s eligibility for benefits won't help.

The PM's speech was an irresponsible war of words on people who already aren’t getting enough support.
