As of Friday 28 February 2025, Hopestead will no longer post from the account @_hopestead on X, formerly Twitter.
We wanted to let our supporters and partners know about the reasons for our decision to leave this platform; after much deliberation, we have decided that any benefits offered by X are now outweighed by its negatives.
Our goal is to end homelessness, offering support to those in need, partnering with like-minded organisations, advocating for policy changes, and campaigning for better outcomes for those we support. However, we feel that the environment of X contrasts with our values as an organisation, to the point where we cannot continue posting there.
Our account @_hopestead will become inactive and we will no longer post to it, although the account will remain open. Our other social media accounts, on LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook, will remain active and we would love for you to follow us there if you don’t already. You can also stay up to date on what we’re up to from our website here at hopestead.org
