Banksy said, “Keep Your Coins. I Want Change”. It’s no breeze being a change maker. I work alongside overstretched leaders in the #homelessness sector and their teams achieve a healthy work-life balance and avoid burnout.

Homelessness charities are lifelines for those sleeping rough and do incredible work in supporting people on their journey out of homelessness. We're working with the government to ensure @Crisis_UK and @StMungos have the funding needed to extend their life-changing support.
We’ve announced historic funding to turn the tide on homelessness. This week I had the pleasure of visiting a @Crisis_UK team, and this funding will help them to continue delivering their life-changing work. https://t.co/UY8pDwpa5t

First class thought piece from @DrJennyMackay on male victims and survivors of domestic abuse - and the narratives that surround them. 👇 https://t.co/Frfd3REuIb

We are primed to see women as victims, and men as likely perpetrators. This means that when people are in relationships that break this model, we might not be as quick to spot problems.

What does it mean to be a boy in Britain today?👦 That's what CSJ's newest Senior Fellow @Miriam_Cates aims to find out through our "Lost Boys" project, launched today. If you're a boy, a young man, a parent, or interested organisation, we want to hear your thoughts👇

We fully support these changes. 130 men have been killed by a partner or ex-partner over the last ten years. We want to see far tougher sentences and this is a good start.
Each year in England and Wales, around 85 people are killed by their current or ex- partner. Under new laws, judges must consider longer sentences for murders involving strangulation and those who kill their partners at the end of the relationship. https://t.co/7QXS1bpN1H

Great to see our research in @VanityFair - acting on the fact that 52% of #homelessness frontline workers struggle to pay their bills, @HomewardsUK & @bluelightcard have partnered to make discounts accessible to the sector. Read our research: https://t.co/ogUFnkFxMV

The overtalking by @PennyMordaunt in these election debates is so dispiriting and unedifying.

Social homes = the only affordable type of housing. On average, social tenants pay a whopping £828 less in rent per month than private tenants. We need to #BuildSocialHousing to prevent record rents tipping more people into homelessness. #VotingForHome

It is wonderful to see the official photograph of our Honorary Patron, Erin Pizzey, with her daughter and granddaughter. Taken after she received her CBE. She is such a pioneer for victims and survivors of domestic abuse. A truly deserved honour. #erinpizzey @erin_pizzey
