Great to catch up with @BenMacpherson to share findings from the first-year evaluation of #UpstreamScotland, our school-based prevention programme. Conducted by @ISPHERE_HWU, it shows 3/4 of those at risk of homelessness are flying under the radar.

As the weather gets colder and the dark nights draw in, all anyone wants to do is coorie in. We are asking for help to enable young people in Scotland to do the same - can you help to ensure that we can all coorie in this Christmas?
*Coorie [küri] | verb | Scottish | To snuggle in and find comfort.
With your help, young people facing homelessness in Scotland can find warmth and safety this winter.
Just £20 can provide the gift of comfort 🔗 rocktrust.org/coorie-in/

We are proud to be delivering #upstreamscotland, alongside international colleagues. #Upstream is an innovative prevention programme which identifies and supports students at risk of homelessness, achieving a 40% reduction in youth homelessness in Australia. Link below for info
What a week meeting our international #Upstream family- I'm so inspired to keep learning and sharing our progress with colleagues around the world. Together we are ending homelessness at the school gates #endingyouthhomelessness #upstreamscotland @FEANTSA

It’s great to hear our new First Minister’s commitment to eradicating child poverty. Current levels are unacceptably high, at 24% of children last year in Scotland- this cannot carry on. We agree with @JohnSwinney that more action must be taken now.
This is brilliant - congratulations @SamTsemberis
.@SamTsemberis named 1 of Time Magazine’s 100 most influential ppl. Well deserved, Sam!
Also in Europe his influence cannot b underestimated.
But, and I hope he will not mind me writing this, Housing First in Finland predates the version frm USA...😉
