To create meaningful change within society, we must begin by transforming the way people think. It’s not enough to simply encourage aid or support; we need to go deeper. Change starts with raising awareness, breaking down stereotypes, providing education, and sparking important conversations. These actions are the foundation for shifting perceptions and fostering a more inclusive and empathetic community.
We collaborate with like-minded organisations to do just this, working together to address the root of societal issues through education and dialogue, so we can build a society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
The Unseen Echoes project challenges how we perceive domestic abuse. Too often, our understanding is shaped by what we can physically see—bruises, broken bones, and visible scars. But the reality is far more complex. Many survivors bear no external wounds, yet they live with the deep and lasting impact of psychological, emotional, financial, and coercive control.
When we think of homelessness, a familiar image often comes to mind—scruffy individuals begging or sleeping in shop doorways, struggling with mental health issues, addiction, or both. This image persists because it represents the most visible side of homelessness in the UK. But it is only a fraction of the full picture.
A quiet room, the hum of a fan, the gentle weight of a weighted blanket—these small details may seem insignificant, but for an autistic adult, they can be the difference between comfort and distress. Imagine navigating a world that often feels overwhelming, where social expectations are unspoken and sensory experiences
A storytelling and photography project celebrating Buckinghamshire’s volunteers. Created by The Narrator’s Lens CIC in partnership with the High Sheriff of Buckinghamshire to share real stories and inspire community action.
A powerful and thought-provoking project that reimagines rough sleepers’ living spaces as estate agent listings. By presenting doorways, underpasses, and hidden corners in the familiar format of property advertisements, the project challenges public perceptions of homelessness. It raises awareness of the harsh realities faced by thousands of people across the UK, sparking conversation and calling for meaningful change. Through exhibitions, online galleries, and estate agent window displays, Homeless Listings asks viewers a simple yet confronting question: Would you call this home?
Dementia has a profound effect on individuals, families, and society as a whole. As the condition progresses, it affects not only cognitive abilities but also emotional well-being, independence, and relationships. The impact extends beyond the person with dementia, influencing caregivers, healthcare systems, and the economy.
Dementia is a life-changing condition affecting almost a million people in the UK, impacting their independence, identity, and daily life. This report focuses on the personal experiences of those living with dementia, the challenges they face, and the support available to help them maintain quality of life for as long as possible.
Youth homelessness is a pressing issue in the United Kingdom, affecting thousands of young people each year. Factors such as family breakdown, economic hardship, and systemic failures contribute to the displacement of individuals aged 16 to 24. Understanding the scale of this problem is crucial for developing effective interventions and policies.
