Today we remember the #Grenfell tragedy. Four years ago, 72 lives were lost and many lost their homes. A painful reminder that having a safe home is a basic human right.
Our thoughts are with the bereaved families, survivors and residents 💚

We're opening more rooms at our hostels, bringing our total no. to 101. This means that 9 more people can find a safe place to stay while we work with them to end their #homelessness. We just wish demand wasn't so high.

Today, 490,000 children across the UK are sitting in class worried to death about not being able to access food during October Half-Term.
490,000 vulnerable children.
Worried sick about going hungry when the school closes.
Let that sink in.

If a child needs access to food at school, OF COURSE they need access to it at home! Why can't we provide assurance that our children will be protected during school holidays? Why is this even a question?? How do we justify not helping them?? People are losing their jobs...(2)
