This National Homelessness Week, and throughout the year, Beddown seeks to raise awareness of the issue of homelessness and the experience of people sleeping rough.
In the past year, the number of people already sleeping rough when they first sought help rose by 13%. This marks a 33% increase over the past two years. (AIHW*)
Highlighted by our partnership with the incredible nursing and social worker OneBridge team, Beddown seeks to innovatively fill gaps in support for people sleeping rough as they find their pathway back to safe and secure housing.
Thanks to our incredible supporters, Beddown is funding the OneBridge team until June 2026, working alongside our colleagues in the InCommunity Connect Assertive Outreach Team, to deliver expert health support to people sleeping rough in the Ipswich community.
Now, as always, we aim to ensure that everyone can get a good night’s sleep.
