Empower your pupils to put an end to homelessness
We help pupils to understand homelessness and its impact, and we inspire them to fight for change. We support schools to fundraise and be part of our crucial work helping millions of people across the country.
Teaching resources
Our free, curriculum-linked resources have everything you need to tackle bad housing and homelessness in your classroom, and our fundraising aids make it easy to encourage your students to take on homelessness themselves.
