Story
Catching Lives is a small homelessness charity working across East Kent.
I visited their day centre in Canterbury earlier this month and was overwhelmed with the work they're doing to help people who have become homeless to get their lives back on track.
On a tour with the CEO, a young man proudly showed her a set of keys he'd picked up earlier in the day from Canterbury City Council, after the charity had lobbied on his behalf.
The day centre is open 7 days a week and provides a friendly welcome, basic facilities (food, laundry, shower), support including mental health workers, and activities such as arts, table tennis and gardening.
They also do street outreach and tenancy sustainment.
Many people become homeless through no fault of their own. Catching Lives aim to offer a safe, inclusive space and help people move towards personal recovery and independent living.
Please help in any way you can - even if it's simply a good luck message, it will help to keep me focused and on track.
