Homeless Families Conference – Dare to Hope

26 June, 2024 - 09:00 to 16:30
Venue: 
Studio 1 & 2, No.1 Circle Square, 3 Symphony Park, M1 7FS

There are 142,000 homeless children in England living in Temporary Accommodation. Many are living in dangerous conditions with little support to help them navigate through our complex systems. Families are continuously placed out of area, far away from their school, GP and community. The educational attainment of homeless children plummets when they become homeless. The barriers to healthcare increases and children's health and development suffer. There is a national focus and political will for rough sleeping, but less so for families. And tragically, 55 children have died in Temporary Accommodation, most were under 1.

And yet, we dare to hope.

The Shared Health Foundation invite you to attend the Homeless Families conference for encouragement, support and inspiration. If you feel like you're on your own, you're not. Come and join the network of champions who are working hard to improve the lives of the most vulnerable families.

If you work with homeless families in any capacity then this conference is for you. The Shared Health Foundation want to bring together their experts by experience alongside colleagues from housing, health, education, the home office and the voluntary and faith sector. Whether you are front line, a volunteer, a commissioner or a politician, the crisis of homeless families is all our responsibility to share.

Things can and will get better.
