When you think of homelessness, do you think of children?

Many people may not picture children sleeping rough, but the reality of the situation is far different:

👶164,000 children are homeless in England, with nearly 12,000 in the east of England
🛏️ Many have shared beds with parents or siblings for years
🏨3,880 families are stuck in B&Bs beyond legal limits
⚠️58 babies under one year old have died due to living in temporary accommodation

Homelessness is more than what you see. It’s children growing up without stability, safety, or hope. So it’s time we #ChangeTheScore. 

Learn more about what you can do to make a difference - visit our window display in Norwich’s Royal Arcade, share posts on social media using #ChangeTheScore and #12Nil, and help spread the word. Together, we can end homelessness.

Have you seen our window outside the #Hainstone office in Norwich’s Royal Arcade yet?

Every night, homelessness fills our city’s football stadium 12 times over – that’s why it’s 12-0. 
 
We’re immensely grateful for the support of Hainstone, who have not only given us such a prominent place to share our message, but will also be undertaking an epic 84-mile hike along the Norfolk Coast Path to raise money for Hopestead and #HopeAtHome in June.

If you’d like to support them, donate to their JustGiving here: https://www.justgiving.com/page/hikingforhopestead

Homelessness is closer than you think
Half of working renters are just one payday away from losing their home.

🏠 Could you afford your rent or mortgage if you lost your job?
💰 Do you have more than a month’s savings to cover an emergency?
🚨 If the answer is no, you’re closer to homelessness than you think.

The cost-of-living crisis, inflation, and lack of affordable housing are pushing more people to the brink.

Homelessness isn’t just about rough sleeping — it can happen to anyone.

Our 12-0 campaign is all about highlighting the sheer number of people experiencing homelessness on any given day, and how close it can be. Visit the Royal Arcade in Norwich to see our window display, donate to our friends in Hainstone whose epic 84-mile walk in June is raising money for #HopeAtHome, and share posts using #12Nil and #ChangeTheScore.
