Food Banks, Dignity, and Starving the Far Right

Food Banks, Dignity, and Starving the Far Right Flags and Food Banks in the UK Over recent months, the air has been full of flag waving. Union Jacks in Parliament, banners at rallies, and emblems carried by groups claiming to speak for “real Britain.” But patriotism is not measured in fabric. A country is not defended by flags but by whether its people can eat, live securely, and build a future. And here lies the truth: every food bank is a recruiting sergeant for the far right. Fix Wages to End Hunger and Poverty What kind of country are we building if full-time work still leaves families queuing at food banks? A real living wage ...read more on our charity website:

Fix Supported Housing: Fund What Works, Not Just What’s Big

Fix Supported Housing: Fund What Works, Not Just What’s Big Safe homes change lives. But we are running out of time to provide them. In supported housing, everything starts with the home, but it does not end there. Homes must be safe, yes. But they must also be stable, suitable, supported, and secure. They must work for the person, not just on paper. And that is precisely where the system is falling short. Supported housing isn’t a luxury. It’s not a policy experiment. It’s not a ‘nice-to-have.’ It’s the difference between a vulnerable adult living in dignity or being trapped in hospital, homeless, or worse. At Zetetick ...read more on our charity website:

Adult safeguarding | Recognising the 10 types of abuse

Adult safeguarding | Recognising the 10 types of abuse Adult safeguarding – recognising different types of abuse The safeguarding of our tenants is at the heart of our work - creating safe spaces and homes for our service users. In our recent article, we talked about safeguarding and the measures that Zetetick put in place to protect the vulnerable individuals that we work with. Safeguarding measures protect vulnerable people from abuse, there are many types of abuse, and some types of abuse can be less obvious to those around us or even to the victim themselves. Abuse is often described as an act that hurts physically, emotionally or ...read more on our charity website:

What Is Your Website For?

What Is Your Website For? What is your website for? A reflection on AI, echo chambers, and the public voice of a charity Your Website or the Void There is a quiet but persistent habit many organisations fall into. They invest time in meetings, reports, team updates, internal systems. All of this feels productive and solid, and in many ways it is. It reflects real work, real effort, real delivery. But step outside the internal walls and a different question arises, one that does not always get asked: what is the message you are offering to the public? A website should be the answer to that question. Not just a page about your services, ...read more on our charity website:

Hoarding – Vulnerable adults have heightened risk

Hoarding – Vulnerable adults have heightened risk How does hoarding affect some vulnerable adults? Following the New Year, we begin to look forward to Spring which is traditionally seen as a time to thoroughly clean one’s home and declutter the items that no longer serve us. But for those with autism and/or learning disabilities or mental health conditions, keeping on top of household cleaning can be much more difficult than it is for neurotypical people. Some research suggests that up to 80% of those with autism suffer from executive function disorder, leading to difficulties managing time, planning ahead and completing tasks. Sensory ...read more on our charity website:

Housing Crisis: Why It Must Be a National Mission

Housing Crisis: Why It Must Be a National Mission If the Government Wants to Lead, It Must Start with Housing   I’m writing this as the CEO of a specialist housing charity that provides homes for people with learning disabilities and autism. We see the reality of the UK housing crisis every day — the housing shortage, the anxiety, the ineligibility, the despair. Now Labour is in power. But housing — the most visible symptom of national decline — is still being treated like a policy silo rather than a national mission. This isn’t a temporary housing emergency. It is a long-term housing failure. Austerity laid the foundations. ...read more on our charity website:

Zetetick Housing – a stable and ethical charity in a poorly regulated sector #UKHousing

Zetetick Housing – a stable and ethical charity in a poorly regulated sector #UKHousing The supported housing sector - in which Zetetick Housing operates - offers accommodation to a range of vulnerable people, such as those who find themselves homeless, ex-offenders or individuals with a learning disability, and has been under the spotlight for some time. In a number of recent government reports, specific concerns have been  raised about the exempt accommodation system - a sub-sector of supported housing. The Charity Commission have also recently warned charities offering lease-based supported accommodation that they must be “more ...read more on our charity website:
