🏆 We care!
We’re so thrilled to share that #HopeAtHome has won the ‘We Care’ category at the Travis Perkins Managed Services Better Together Awards 2025 last night!
✨ This incredible recognition comes just months after Hope at Home was named Homelessness Project of the Year at the UK Housing Awards. As part of the win, we’ll receive £5,000 to continue providing essential furniture, flooring, and appliances to people moving from homelessness into a place they can truly call home.
💬 Our Director of Operations, Lucy Parish, said: "We are so thankful for this recognition and funding, because we know there’s a big and growing need for Hope at Home.
“Too many people move into empty properties without the basics they need to settle. This funding will help us continue to bridge that gap and ensure more people have the essentials they need to make a house a home."

Imagine your favourite team losing 12-0. Not good, right?

A huge congratulations and thank you to housing manager, Rachel from Flagship`s housing association #samphirehomes, for completing her first ever half marathon and raising an incredible £680 (including gift aid) to support our #HopeAtHome project.
Hope at Home provides brand-new furniture, flooring and appliances to individuals and families moving from homelessness into social housing.
Someone we recently supported said ` I can do normal everyday things; I can cook and clean. Most importantly I can live again. My children are back to their mischievous selves, which I love`

The impact of #HopeFunds
One of our key initiatives, Hope Funds provides financial support to charities working to prevent homelessness, ensuring they have the resources to reach more people, offer life-changing support, and create lasting impact.
Our third round of funding concluded in late 2024, with 17 charities supported. Their work then reached an astonishing 15,369 people, over 60% more than expected. This includes:
- 8,301 people accessing homelessness prevention services
- 4,340 people getting housing, welfare, and debt advice
- 312 people accessing safe bed spaces while experiencing homelessness
- 1,677 children benefitting from essential food, hygiene items, and social support
And the feedback from our partners was overwhelmingly positive - 92% said working with us was ‘very easy’, with 100% saying the funding helped achieve their objectives and that they’d apply again. We’d like to share insights into three powerful stories which highlight the impact of Hope Funds:
Here are three powerful stories that highlight how Hope Funds is changing lives:
Norfolk Community Law Service (NCLS) was able to:
- Employ an additional debt advisor, increasing their capacity by 30%
- Expand community outreach, reaching more people in urgent need
- Successfully overturn 80% of wrongful benefit denials, securing £3.2 million in financial aid for Norfolk residents
@thefeednorwich was able to:
- Restore benefits for service user Bill, including a backdated Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
- Provide him a wheelchair-accessible home
- Secure his safety and prevent further exploitation
New Meaning Foundation took on a volunteer who:
- Mastered decorating and began training in plastering
- Gained the experience and motivation to become self-employed
- Found a supportive community that gave him a fresh start.
