We've joined the race

We are partnering with Social Bite to help break the cycle of homelessness.

Social Bite have identified the current approach to homelessness in the UK does not work. Using temporary accommodation such as hostels and B & Bs does not provide people with the stability and the support that they need to escape a life characterised by destitution and exclusion.

The first Social Bite Village was launched in Edinburgh in 2018. The village is an innovative, community-based accommodation project that is designed to help people build a better life.

SOCIAL BITE HAVE LAUNCHED…
