Society of St James - Homelessness is a complex issue that presents itself in various forms. It can be a truly frightening and isolating experience. People experiencing homelessness are more susceptible to physical and mental health issues, often compounded by trauma.

The Society of St James believes that having a safe place to call home is a fundamental human right, and without it, everything is a challenge. While visible street homelessness is apparent in towns and cities, thousands more can be described as 'hidden homeless'. People may find themselves in temporary accommodation or overcrowded and unsuitable housing, while others may be sofa surfing with friends and family.

It is shocking that at the moment in the UK thousands of people are without a permanent, safe home.
