Justlife client from Manchester
Since March 2020, we've delivered over 15,000 meals to homeless people living in B&Bs and hostels without cooking facilities.
In 2020, over 7000 housing and healthcare interventions were made to improve the lives of people experiencing homelessness.
Our report, Lifting the Lid, unveiled an estimated B&B population of 51,500 households experiencing homelessness, which is 10x the government estimate.
With Justlife, they give you so much advice. If they can't do anything to help us, they put us onto other people that can. They are a lifesaver, simple as.
