🏠 LANDLORDS WANTED – HELP US EXPAND OUR SUPPORTED HOUSING

At The Bridge Homelessness to Hope, we’re working to provide more than just a roof over someone’s head. We’re developing a strategic accommodation programme that gives some of our rough sleeper guests access to safe, secure housing and the opportunity to move towards greater stability and independence.

We currently manage the leases on five properties across Leicester, providing accommodation for selected guests who would otherwise struggle to access suitable housing. We are looking to expand the project and increase our housing stock and we’re looking for local landlords who may have suitable properties available to lease.

If you have a property in Leicester that you would consider leasing to us, or know a landlord who might be interested, we’d love to hear from you.

📞 07534 059658

Your property could help provide someone with the stability and opportunity they need to move forward.

Please share this post with anyone who might be able to help. 🙏

We’re proud to have taken part in the 2026 Women’s Rough Sleeping Census, helping to shine a light on the experiences of women who are sleeping rough or at risk of rough sleeping.

Women’s homelessness can often be hidden, and taking part in the census helps build a clearer picture of the challenges women face and the support they need.

By contributing to this important work, we hope to help ensure women’s voices and experiences are seen, heard and better understood 💜

If you're able to donate any of the following, it would make a huge difference to the people we support:

🥣 Cereal
☕ Coffee
🍬 Sugar
🥤 Squash
☕ Hot chocolate
🍜 Pot Noodles
🥔 Crisps
🍫 Chocolate
💧 Bottled water

If you can spare an item or two during your next shop, we'd be incredibly grateful.

Huge thank you to the 109th Leicester St Andrews Scout Group for their donation of blankets to The Bridge Homelessness to Hope ☺️

The Bridge Homelessness to Hope recently visited the 109th Leicester (Countesthorpe) St Andrews Scout Group to talk to two Beaver Colonies groups (aged 6-8 years) about homelessness, what it means and how people can help those experiencing it.

In celebration of Volunteers’ Week 2026, we treated our incredible volunteers from The Bridge to an evening of bowling at Lane7 as a thank you for their dedication, hard work, and support throughout the past year.

Our volunteers are at the heart of The Bridge. Whether it's offering a listening ear, serving meals, supporting activities, or simply helping someone feel valued and respected, their contribution makes a meaningful difference every day to the people we support.

This evening was a small token of our appreciation for the positive impact they have on the lives of others and for the vital role they play.

Thank you to all of our volunteers for your continued dedication ☺️
