"As CEO of Greenwich Homeless Project, I was encouraged to hear the new Prime Minister set out a clear commitment to ending rough sleeping. He’s talked about making this a priority from day one, backed by additional funding and a national push to ensure people aren’t left on the streets long‑term.
The Government has announced plans to increase investment in homelessness services, expand access to treatment and support, and acquire more suitable housing for people who have been rough sleeping for long periods. This kind of focus matters, especially when long‑term rough sleeping is still rising across the UK.
Here in Greenwich, we see every day how complex the challenges are. People need stable housing, mental health and addiction support, and consistent long‑term help to rebuild their lives. We’ll keep doing everything we can locally, and we’re ready to work with Government and partners to make sure national commitments translate into real change for the people we support.
Thank you to everyone who stands with us. Your support genuinely makes a difference."
