We have crunched some numbers for the last financial year and our crew smashed it. We are a small site and a tiny team. We build community not services. We get resources out where they are needed. Thank you to everyone who is supporting this our funders and partners. We love you.

Our team enjoyed a thought-provoking retreat to the #MuseumOfHomelessness in #London today. Their "Criminal" #exhibition draws together threads on #history, #law, #health & the influences of discrimination, racism & marginalisation on people experiencing #homelessness. @ourmoh.bsky.social 🧪🤍👏

The typical story of homelessness doesn't exist - it can happen to anyone when a perfect storm of events hits at the wrong time. Our latest blog highlights why a safety net is so vital. bigbreakfastplus.org.uk/no-such-thin...
