Spring at Stamford Villa, our accommodation opened in 2022 by Secretary of State, @AngelaRayner. This pioneering project, with @CPhomelessness and @AshtonPioneer, offers self-contained flats and long-term support for our customers on the path to independence.

After moving into our Blackburn accommodation last year, Allie secured her own social housing tenancy with our support! She received a deposit, essential grants for furniture, £240 towards bills & a £50 Asda voucher. Now, she feels confident in independent living! 💙

After 40 years, we're just as committed to changing the lives of people experiencing homelessness in the North West. We spoke to our customers and colleagues about their experience at Stepping Stone Projects over the years. Watch our full video here: youtu.be/Wt7cXiGud7M

In the last 10 years, we've grown from 168 bedspaces, to now offer 700 homes and over 900 support places. We're also procuring 50 more homes, with 80 more in development, so we can be better equipped than ever to support those facing homelessness. #EndHomelessness #SSP40

We're thrilled to share that Taylor has landed his very own tenancy! 🏡 His excitement and hard work have paid off, and with support from SSP, he's achieved his dream of living independently. So proud of how much Taylor has grown!

Since joining SSP, John has taken positive steps, including setting gambling limits to regain control. We worked with the council to resolve his tax debts, getting him an exemption. Now, we're creating a plan to help him manage his finances and set him up for success.

Housing isn’t just bricks & mortar—it’s about safe, warm, secure homes for people. We need more investment in social & truly affordable housing to meet demand. It’s time to take action! 🏠💜 housingdigital.co.uk/invest-in-affo…

A huge thank you to @centrepointuk for their generous voucher donation! 💙 Our customers have been able to shop at B&M and turn their flats into real homes. One client even took up flower arranging to add a personal touch! 🌸✨

One of our customers has accessed our Stepping Stone Projects hardship fund to purchase a sofa and tables from @TheBHF to furnish her new flat. We understand the importance of furniture in making a house a home, enabling people to feel safe, secure and comfortable.

For thousands of people living in supported housing, the benefits system can prevent them from working. We’re proud to support this @YMCAEng_Wales open letter, calling on the government to reform the system and break down the barriers to work. ymca.org.uk/ymca-open-lett…

Trapped in unemployment and unable to live independently – that’s the reality for many in supported housing due to benefits barriers. We're proud to support @YMCAEng_Wales's open letter for reform. ymca.org.uk/ymca-open-lett…
