Homeless In Oxford

@CeXSupport Hi. I have a warranty exchange to take into Cowley Cex. I'm disabled and cannot bring the device in. Can my partner do so with my invoice?

@BootstrapCook I'm struggling so don't ignore those feelings just find a coping mechanism. Like your cooking. It helped me get sober x

@WheezyJenCooks @BootstrapCook How bloody rude. Addiction is not attention seeking.

"We can deal with the immediate needs, accommodation and support but there's lots of lobbying to be done to central government + local government" Rev. Ian Rutherford #HomelessCovid19Talks

Places you can "pop" 1. To the shops 2. To the loo 3. Next door 4. Out to get some petrol 5. Down the Post Office 6. To the cash point 7. Upstairs 8. Along (but you only “might” pop along, meaning you won’t)

During the #coronavirus lockdown we've seen what happens when everyone pulls together to support people facing #homelessness. Please help us to make this the beginning of the end for homelessness as we launch our #HomeForAll campaign today. crisis.org.uk/get-involved/h…

When another complete disaster occurs: Well that's no good Oh dear Not to worry It's fine Could be worse Yay Ah well Great! How unfortunate Marvellous Hardly ideal Balls Slightly worrying It’s all gone pear-shaped What a mess Not the best outcome Right... Typical Bugger Tea?

Everyone in the partnership continues to work hard, not least @OxfordCity, on finding solutions for people temporarily accommodated in hotels. Surely there must be properties in the city that could be used? Please contact us by DM if you think you can help #Community #Partnership

We live in a country that's having a debate whether it's right or wrong to feed starving kids. What a fucking shite hole of a place

Over the last 15 years the amount of food parcels given out, annually at food banks, went from the low thousands to over 1.5 million. That is a political problem which is solvable. We shouldn't need Marcus Rashford campaigning against child hunger to put it in the headlines.

Hmm... It would be better to give credit where it’s due to @MarcusRashford

A widely available steroid has been found to significantly reduce the risk of dying from Covid-19, in what scientists from Oxford university have said is one of the biggest coronavirus drug breakthroughs to date ft.com/content/25496b…

Not entirely true, @theresecoffey.

Marcus Rashford has lifted the morale of children and adults across the UK that have felt sensitive for having to use free school meals and was praised by this former Education Secretary. @ShelaghFogarty | #schoolmeals4summer | @MarcusRashford l-bc.co/3fxz3iy

14 million people (at least) live in poverty in UK They are NEVER allowed to tell their own story in prime time on BBC They are treated as “non-people” Result? Kids go hungry Unless a decent celeb takes up their cause Hey, BBC, you need to give a platform for the 14 million

NO, they said, EVERYBODY, is in... Figures show 840 men 89 women and 85 young adults aged 18 to 24 were released into rough sleeping or other forms of homelessness A further 1209 were released with unknown circumstances for accommodation in the same period theguardian.com/society/2020/j…

Some great prizes in this raffle and some much needed support for a great charity #CharityTuesday

Important discussions on @BBCWomansHour with @womensaid & their new research on the fear of #homelessness being a barrier to women leaving an abusive situation. Our research found that over half our female residents have had experience abuse 👉mungos.org/publication/wo…
