As we welcome 2022 and start our 50th year of supporting people facing homelessness, we're taking a moment to reflect on an amazing outcome from 2021
Watch below to hear from wonderful poet Mike Garry who led sessions which empowered our Project 5 participants back in October 2021 at Trafford Hall.
Mike inspired the individuals we support who attended to feel more confident, to use their voices and to understand that they, as he notes, are "Really important, fundamentally fulcrums of community, beacons of hope, lighthouses of tenderness and care and kindness and fairness."
Project 5 is a free training opportunity ran in partnership by our homelessness charity Petrus and Liverpool based The Learning Foundry. Project 5 works to increase confidence and skills of individuals who have faced homelessness and disadvantages to achieve their goals or feel job ready.
It was brilliant and so moving to work with Mike and we are delighted to receive his continued support of our charity, and our mission to end homelessness and create safe places where all can flourish.
