Sometimes it's hard to stay hopeful about ending homelessness, but it's important to celebrate the successes too. 🫶
📌For example, since and partners began working on Built For Zero in Calderdale, there has been a 34% decrease in households in temporary accommodation. Oxford is also a test area for Built For Zero and so we are looking forward to positive results here too. 💛 You can read The Observer's full article on Built for Zero here: 👉 https://observer.co.uk/news/national/article/the-yorkshire-borough-that-could-end-homelessness

📌Just recently we have also seen Section 21 abolished, and the implementation of the new Renters' Rights Act which provides flexibility and stronger protections against eviction. 🏠 You can read Crisis' full article here: 👉 https://www.crisis.org.uk/ending-homelessness/renters-rights-act/?utm_campaign=110626%20-%203%20reasons%20to%20be%20optimistic%20-%20S3%20Committed&utm_content=Find%20out%20more%20about%20the%20changes&utm_term=&utm_medium=email&utm_source=adestra

There is always so much work to be done to end homelessness, but there is good work being done and that should make us feel hopeful. 💛

A huge congratulations to our on being named a finalist for Employer of the Year at the Oxfordshire Businesss Awards, so well-deserved 💛🏆

We're proud to share that Response was named a finalist for Employer of the Year at the Oxfordshire Business Awards 2026, held last week at Oxford Brookes University.

While the award went elsewhere on the night (congratulations to the Valda Energy team!), being shortlisted is a fantastic recognition of our team and the culture we've built together.

Huge congratulations to our fellow Oxfordshire-based charities Style Acre for winning the Charity Community Award, and to fellow finalists Sobell House Hospice and Home Start Oxford.

Events like these shine a spotlight on the incredible charities and businesses making a real difference across Oxfordshire ✨
