Top Tip #10: Spread the word. Homelessness is more common than you might think, with an estimated 3,898 people sleeping rough across England on a single night in autumn 2023. Sharing stories raises awareness and can inspire others to help too. Word of mouth is powerful (and free!) Help us by spreading the word, talking to your friends, and encouraging others to donate and get involved. Together, we can make a difference ❤️ Visit our website to read more about what we do and how you can get involved: https://lnkd.in/dejAFVu #PassItOn #EndHomelessness #SpreadTheWord

Really good practical post from Andrew as always. Under the heading Practical Support : homelessness & biodiversity? I’m pleased to say that at Gresham Benevolent Fund we are supporting Crisis Changing Lives programme and personally I really like the fact that in the previous Parliament Crisis provided Secretariat services for the All Party Parliamentary Group on Homelessness. Hopefully it will do so again when the new Parliamentary term starts in early September. I was speaking with Connections at St Martins in the field. They said that the most requested items from their clients were mobile phones & laptops. These days once you have shelter; food ; medical support and the necessary IT skills you can with like mindeds set up your own Solo or Micro (1-11 employee) business or Social Enterprise with a mobile & access to a laptop and support from sympathetic Mentors like Andrew. There are 136,000 young (16-24 year old ) homeless that New Horizon are trying to help with a National Stratrgy plus an unknown number of hidden young underinvested. A real talent pool potentially. Update “ give a person a fish and they’ll eat for a day ; teach a person how to fish and they’ll eat for life”- ( which doesn’t really work these days when we poison our rivers and streams with effluent and the Midland Canals with a form of cyanide used in metal cleaning which kills the fishes🐟 !!) by giving the 136,000 phones and laptops and perhaps they could become our next generation of ….. ……Environmental Protectors.???!!! After all to be homeless in UK plc as Anthony says you have to be pretty streetwise. A task force of Name & Shame environmentalists protecting our “ Sceptrd Isle” might have a number of benefits. Whilst 32 wars rage around the globe causing massive environmental damage perhaps the Young Underinvested could be our eyes 👀 & ears 👂to ensure UK 🇬🇧 plc really does move towards Net Zero : not just “ wash ourselves in Green” After all .., “ there is no Planet 🌍 “B” T https://lnkd.in/eg33cJKh.

Our children are the most important thing in this world and the thought of a child living with a life limiting illness is something we don't even want to consider. But for the families of Emily's House, it is a reality they know all too well.

Do you have reliable transportation right now? Now… imagine your day-to-day life without it. It’s something we don’t want to imagine and unfortunately, it’s the reality of many here in Frederick County. There are 3,700 low-income households without cars right here in the community. Restrictions on transportation can impact our lives not only physically but mentally by causing… Anxiety Depression Isolation Immense stress A major decrease in one’s self-esteem Deep worry about one’s family Inability to visit the doctor for health concerns You can make an impact in someone or some family’s life today by donating in support of our organization’s mission. Without community support, we are unable to do what we do best… grant “second chances” to those who need it most by providing them with reliable transportation! You can donate here! https://lnkd.in/eYW_QZhZ? #ReliableTransportation #LifeChanging #LowIncomeHouseholds #CreatingSecondChances

🧹🏠 Do's and Don'ts of House Decluttering! 🧹🏠 Decluttering your home can be a liberating experience, but it's essential to approach it with a plan. Start small by focusing on one room or area at a time to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Use the 12-month rule to decide what to keep—discard items you haven't used in the past year. Organize donations by sorting items into categories: keep, donate, and discard. On the flip side, avoid procrastination by setting a schedule and sticking to it to maintain momentum. Don’t let sentimentality dictate your decisions; keep items for their usefulness, not just emotional attachment. Lastly, don’t neglect proper storage solutions for the items you decide to keep. Simplify your space and enjoy a clutter-free home! ✨📦 #DeclutteringTips #HomeOrganization #ClutterFreeLiving #TerriBuseman #Remax
