🎁🎉 The end of last week, we met the #FlagshipHomes team to present their winnings for raising the most in our Festive Trade Up. A wonderful surprise, then, when they donated those winnings back to us! Huge thanks as well to the @_FlagshipGroup IT team for doing the same!

🏠 Home is more than 4 walls, it’s a foundation to thrive. The journey out of homelessness starts with homes that restore dignity & respect. 💬 “Without the things that made the accommodation a home, I’d have gone back to addiction. But I didn’t. It gave me a life, a future.”

🐰 We were down in Ipswich yesterday at a planning day for the @StElizabethHosp #HopToIt art trail (coming in summer 2025) and our Head of Operations Lucy (along with other hare sponsors) had a chance to catch up with St Elizabeth's Liz Baldwin. We can't wait!
