We're pleased that Homewards UK are launching an exhibition about homelessness at the Saatchi Gallery from 7th August. #Homelessness remains a big problem in the UK, and we support Homewards’ ambition in tackling it.

We're really excited about the prospect of working with The Labour Party. Our new Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, was absolutely on the money when, in his first speech, he highlighted the challenges within the prison sector. We also look forward to working with the newly appointed cabinet ministers - James Timpson, Wes Streeting, Shabana Mahmood - to name a few. In this latest vlog, Forward CEO, MIKE TRACE, outlines how the new government might be more willing to address longstanding social inequalities 📽 https://lnkd.in/eyGHn-7F Stay ahead of what's happening by signing up to our mailing list 📨 https://lnkd.in/eh6aWuiK
