Reports like this show the need for a rebalancing of funding, with specific allocations for local grassroots charities. We need policies that recognise and support small charities and provide for maximum impact.

🏡 Grassroots organizations know their communities best, but they often lack the resources to compete with larger charities for funding. 79% of UK adults agree that small, local charities are often overlooked and under-resourced

Really enjoyed speaking with @g_kafka about the @ProxyAddress story so far. Kudos to George for his amazing write up and the decision to use @cafeartuk participants' beautiful images. 👏 #TechForGood #socialimpact #homelessness.
Without an address, it's hard to exist. Architect @chrishildrey designed @ProxyAddress as a system to redistribute postal addresses to people experiencing homelessness. Now the challenge is adapting it to local councils. Read the full story here:.

This recent article reminds me of @TomCrewe1's incredible piece in @LRB from 2016, The Strange Death of Municipal Britain: A chilling article which has inspired me ever since. Public services don't lose money; they cost money.

🎉"results the like of which I've never seen in 2 decades reporting on housing". 📢 Great to read such positive feedback! @hannahfearn's analysis of the @ProxyAddress pilot in @insidehousing shows how it's making a tangible impact helping people escape homelessness. Link below!.
