Our mission
Homeless Friendly rewards organisations who commit to examining their cultural procedures and remove any barriers to those without a fixed address. We request supporters to confirm their support in the form of a pledge.
As a leading not-for-profit social enterprise with expertise and experience in the voluntary, public and private sectors, we offer training and advice on how to become homeless friendly.
Drawing on our experience in breaking down barriers for people that are homeless, we also advocate for policy change to end discrimination against them and reduce instances of homelessness.
Finally, we work with our pledge supporters and contacts across other NGOs to offer a comprehensive service to those in need.
