Last night, some of our Homeless House team had the wonderful opportunity to attend The Big Night of Musicals at Manchester’s AO Arena – an unforgettable evening made possible by an invitation from The National Lottery. For our team, it was a rare chance to step away from the day‑to‑day and immerse ourselves in a…
We’re proud to share that Homeless House has received National Lottery funding to strengthen the work we do alongside people in our community who are facing instability, overwhelm, and isolation. This support arrives at a time when frontline teams are carrying more emotional weight than ever, and when the gaps in the system are becoming…
As we step into 2026, one theme is already shaping our work: frontline collaboration is becoming more essential than ever. Across children’s homes, hostels, youth services, and community spaces, the pressures facing young people and adults are increasing and no single organisation can meet those needs alone. This year, we’re deepening our partnerships with frontline…
This Christmas, Homeless House travelled from Manchester to Wales, delivering gifts to seven children’s homes and six hostels ensuring that every child and every adult we reached had something meaningful to open on Christmas Day. What began as a simple idea 6 years ago “let’s make sure no one is forgotten this Christmas” – grew…
This week the government announced £3.5 billion to tackle homelessness. Big numbers, big promises. But behind the headlines are real people. The woman discharged from hospital with nowhere to go. The young man leaving prison with no bed for his first night. The families stuck in temporary accommodation, waiting for stability that never comes. At…
Homelessness is never just about housing. It is a health issue too – both caused by poor health and a cause of it. The latest Unhealthy State of Homelessness 2025 report makes this painfully clear. It shows how fractured frontline services leave people vulnerable, unsupported, and too often forgotten. According to the report: These are…
Back in the spring and quietly through the summer we hinted that something was in development. Today, we can confirm: the prototype is complete. Built to support both frontline workers and those who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, this tool has been shaped by lived experience, refined through testing, and strengthened by collaboration.…
This Christmas, we’re celebrating the power of stories and the generosity of those who make them possible. We’ve seen first-hand the difference books can make. When we introduced a library at Manchester H.M.P. some years ago and supplied other prisons across the Northwest with brand-new titles, the impact was clear. In 2022, actor and author…
We’re proud to announce that actor Jack Downham has joined Homeless House as our ambassador. Jack has spent the past 16 years playing Noah Dingle in Emmerdale, growing up on screen in one of Britain’s longest-running dramas. But this World Homeless Day, he’s stepping into a new role – one that isn’t scripted, because homelessness…
This week, Sky News reported that at least 1,611 homeless people died in the UK last year, including 11 children!! That’s a 9% rise on the previous year. Four of those children were babies who never reached their first birthday. The government’s own homelessness minister, Alison McGovern MP, called it an “abject failure that cannot…
