Securing accommodation for homeless individuals with pets can be particularly challenging, as many emergency and temporary housing providers are unable to accept dogs. Big thank you to @lpoolcouncil & @PoppyLegion for their collaborative work this week. theblockaff.org

THE BLOCK, Armed Forces Foundation retweeted
It was a pleasure to support the sleep-out event yesterday at St. Luke’s Church, the Bombed Out Church. Please continue to donate to the fundraiser and support the incredible work being carried out for veterans in our city. justgiving.com/page/blockbom… Councillor Sam Gorst has supported @BlockCic with a range of issues over the past year. It is a charity that deserves far more recognition for the vital support it provides to veterans, including advice, direct support and accommodation for some of the most vulnerable people in our communities. Immediate action and resources are often provided at the very first point of contact. From my perspective, @lpoolcouncil must now begin taking its Gold Armed Forces Covenant status seriously and put in the work required to ensure that recognition is both warranted and deserved. I have identified a number of gaps and failings and I will not hesitate to hold the Council to account where improvements are needed. It is our duty to safeguard those who deserve a home, support and dignity. It is time to properly prioritise the welfare of, and investment in, those who have risked their lives for our security and freedoms. As a councillor, I do not believe enough is currently being done, but I will continue pushing for change.
