This week is anti-bullying week.
People struggling with homelessness are often the victims of bullying. Please remember to always show kindness and compassion to not just people struggling with homelessness, but everyone else as well.

This week is Trustee week! 💚
We spoke to Danny, our Head of Finance & Community, who was previously a Trustee of Emmaus SLC, as well as a current Trustee of @LondonCatalyst, about the importance of the role.

We did it! 💚🎉
Our JustGiving page has officially closed. We are very excited to announce that we successfully raised £3,424 in donations and with the addition of Gift Aid we have passed £4000!
The proceeds will be split between @croydonrefugeedaycentre and Emmaus Dunkirk.
The increase in National Insurance contributions for employers will see many charities, especially smaller ones, face challenges.

Amongst these challenges will be the struggle to maintain their current staffing levels, and many jobs will be at risk. This will heavily impact the quality of the essential services they provide in the homeless sector. We will be releasing a full statement regarding this soon.
