"We have known Ben for three years. He is often in and out of prison. Over the past weekend we found him during one of our routine 6am outreach shifts. He was really unwell."

We have been up at 4am this morning checking on people sleeping rough. In winter we always make sure to check stairways of buildings as people try to get shelter from the winter

The clocks going back means we get to see sunrise again whilst on outreach! Photo taken this morning whilst on outreach looking in the tower blocks for people rough sleeping. As it gets colder our clients try to find shelter in stairwells
We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to J G Graves for an incredible £2000 contribution to provide phones to people we support in Sheffield. These phones aren’t just devices; they’re lifelines. Their support is breaking down barriers and helping to eradicate digital exclusion.

Each night in England over 3,000 people sleep somewhere like this. In 2023, everyone should have a place to call home 🏠.
This #WorldHomelessDay, let’s unite our voices to demand a safe home for all. Share or support here: bit.ly/3QaFqNG
