    The heatwave has landed 🌞 But if you’re trapped on the street, hot weather is not just uncomfortable; it’s dangerous. Keeping cool and staying hydrated can be a real challenge. Here are a few ways you can help. Please share, help us reach as many people as possible.

    Sleeping on the streets is NOT a lifestyle choice. We don’t have nearly enough affordable homes, rents are soaring and this is leaving people destitute and forced to sleep rough. This is a consequence of poverty. And poverty in this country has been exacerbated by policy choices

    The British people are compassionate. We will always support those who are genuinely homeless. But we cannot allow our streets to be taken over by rows of tents occupied by people, many of them from abroad, living on the streets as a lifestyle choice. 1/4

    The UK Government is trying to pass new laws that would criminalise sleeping on the streets with a fine up to £2,500, or even prison.

    Six months ago Housing Secretary @RobertJenrick told Parliament that the 200-year old Vagrancy Act should be repealed. However it's still being used to penalise people experiencing homelessness. Today we're joining with MPs to tell Govt to #ScrapTheAct crisis.org.uk/get-involved/c…

    This Bill would criminalise and dehumanise those of us that have been failed by a system that should keep all of us safe. The Bill is being debated in the UK Parliament right now. Together, we can stop these plans – but we need MPs to speak out against it.

    Today, energy costs are set to rise by up to 54%. With rising rents and insufficient housing benefit, people are at risk of homelessness as they're left with no option but to go without heating or fall behind on rent. Please share. We need the UK Government to take action now 👇

    We're so glad Prince Harry & Megan Markle chose us to benefit from donations marking today's #RoyalWedding Best wishes to them! Funds raised will help us support homeless people into suitable housing, training courses, with mental health support, as well as campaigning for change
