Our Christmas Meal Appeal was featured in Northern Insight 🎄💜

We recently shared why our winter appeal is so vital - because the funds raised don’t just provide warmth and meals during the festive season, they help us support people facing homelessness and hardship well into the new year.

Stronger regulation, better referral mechanisms, and increased funding for support services along with robust joint multi-agency approaches are essential steps to protect those most at risk and ensure a safer, more effective approach❗

We’re pleased that the Government has listened to our recommendations and is exploring alternative solutions to address exploitation on adult service websites rather than imposing a blanket ban, discussed during the recent parliamentary debate on the Crime and Policing Bill.
