For more than 25 years, George experienced homelessness on and off, sleeping rough and struggling to find the support he needed.

Today, things are beginning to change.โœจ

Since returning to The Connection, George has moved into temporary accommodation and is working towards a permanent home. Alongside practical support like hot meals, showers and advice, regular psychology sessions have helped him begin to rebuild trust and cope with the trauma of homelessness.

"When people listen, it makes a difference." โ€“ George

Thank you to everyone who supports The Connection. Your generosity helps make stories like George's possible, giving people the chance to rebuild their lives with hope for the future.

๐ŸŒง๏ธ What Itโ€™s Like to Face Homelessness Every Day

For many of us, homelessness feels unimaginable. But for others, itโ€™s a daily reality โ€” one where safety, warmth and food arenโ€™t guaranteed.

When youโ€™re sleeping rough, no two days are ever the same. Some days are unpredictable and unsafe. Others feel long and monotonous, with few ways to pass the time.

๐Ÿ’ญ โ€œYouโ€™re not aware of time reallyโ€ฆ days and nights turn into all the same.โ€ โ€“ Jade

From searching for somewhere safe to sleep, to finding a hot meal or simply a place to rest โ€” every moment is about survival.

At , weโ€™re here to make those days easier. Our day centre offers showers, food, warmth, and a listening ear โ€” and our Outreach teams go out every day to check in with people on the streets.

Because no one should have to face another day like this alone.

A day in the life of someone facing homelessness can vary greatly. But what can homelessness look like on a day-to-day basis?

The Connection at St Martin's is proud to sign a joint letter to Prime Minister Andy Burnham, urging him to push ahead with a pledge to deliver a national housing first philosophy. We join over 75 other homelessness support and prevention organisations in signing a letter coordinated by Homeless Link.

Each one of us stand ready to work with the Government to turn this ambition into action.

A huge THANK YOU to LapCabby for generously donating a new phone charging cabinet to our day centre! ๐Ÿ”‹๐Ÿ“ฑ

This fantastic addition will help our clients keep their phones charged safely and securely while accessing our services.

For people experiencing homelessness, a charged phone is far more than a convenience. It's a vital lifeline for staying in touch with family, accessing support services, attending appointments, searching for work, and hearing about accommodation opportunities.

This generous donation will make a real difference to the people we support every day.

Thank you for helping us provide practical resources that enable people to stay connected when they need it most.๐Ÿ’™

Extreme weather can put people sleeping rough in real danger. โ„๏ธโ˜€๏ธ

Thatโ€™s why the council activates the Severe Weather Emergency Protocol , in both freezing and scorching conditions.

Jack, our Community Service Manager, explains what happens at when SWEP is in place, and how we make sure people have a safe space, support, and care during these critical times. ๐Ÿ‘‡
