💙 Today is World Homelessness Day

Homelessness doesn’t always look the way we expect it to.
It can mean sleeping rough, staying on a friend’s sofa, living in temporary accommodation, or worrying about losing the place you call home.

At The Porch, we believe everyone deserves safety, dignity and a place to belong. Today, and every day, we stand alongside people experiencing homelessness and vulnerability in Oxford.

💙 Let’s challenge the stigma, show compassion and remind people that they are not alone.

“I used to walk over an hour each way every weekend morning to volunteer, so this bike will make such a big difference to me.”

👏🏻💙 We’re incredibly grateful to for donating two bikes to members at The Porch as part of their team-building event, supporting both charity and the local community.

For our members, having access to a bike can make such a difference, helping with getting around Oxford, accessing appointments, work opportunities and staying connected with the wider community. 🚲

Thank you to everyone at O3E for thinking of The Porch and helping to make a real, practical difference to people experiencing homelessness and vulnerability in Oxford.

We really appreciate your support! 💙

Women’s homelessness can be easy to miss.

The 2026 Women’s Homelessness Census is helping change that.

Women experiencing homelessness may sleep in places that aren’t captured by traditional rough sleeping counts. From buses and A&E waiting rooms to staying awake all night to avoid being seen or harmed.

The Census uses a gender-informed approach to understand where women are sleeping, what experiences have led to homelessness, and what support they need.

Because if women aren’t being counted, their experiences can be overlooked and the services designed to support them may not meet their needs.

You can’t tackle what you can’t see. 🧡
