An exciting new partnership with IKEA to tackle housing emergency

We are proud to announce our new partnership with IKEA, because we together believe everyone has the right to a safe home. The long-term partnership aims to support over 500,000 people who are homeless.

Right now, the UK is facing a worsening housing emergency. Over 112,000 households are without a safe place to call home.

Families are trapped living in unsafe and overcrowded accommodation, facing the constant threat of eviction. Or sleeping on sofas, staying with friends and relations, with no permanent home. Over 1.2 million households are currently on social housing waiting lists in the UK due to a lack of affordable homes. Sadly, things are set to worsen as the cost of living crisis spirals.
