On 18 March, the government announced changes to the rules for claiming Personal Independence Payment (PIP). These changes mean fewer people will get PIP.

Changes to PIP won't happen in 2025.

If you’re thinking of applying for PIP, you should. You’re more likely to get PIP if you apply before the rules change ⤵️

🔑 Unlocking futures with keys to a home 🔑

Homelessness isn’t just about losing a place to sleep or keep your stuff — it’s about not having the foundation for a stable future. At Spelthorne Rentstart, we help individuals rebuild their lives by finding secure accommodation in the private rented sector.

We recently published our Annual Review. By the close of the year, we helped 82 people move from the streets, sheds, friends’ sofas and hostels into homes, giving them a fresh start. And we assisted 354 new clients with advice and guidance on how to improve their situation.

If you are (or know) a landlord or letting agent in Spelthorne Borough (Staines, Ashford, Sunbury, Shepperton, Stanwell and surrounds), learn how we support our clients to become ideal tenants, from secured deposits to paying their rent in advance, helping them to sustain their tenancies from beginning to end.

Finding Hope in a Home 🏠

As we approach the end of 2024, we think about the power of a home. For many, it’s SO MUCH MORE than just a roof over their heads – it’s stability, security … and a fresh start.

At Spelthorne Rentstart, we’ve been able to support 82 people this year with securing homes in the private rented sector. Additionally we have assisted 307 clients with advice and guidance so that they can independently improve their situation.

Together, we can continue to offer hope to people who are at risk of homelessness. Let’s keep making a difference, one home at a time.
