Changing perceptions. Taking action.
Under one roof is an integrated website and social media campaign. We aim to show that the homeless are an active and beneficial part of the community. Our events give people chance to take into action the idea of community.

Why social media? |
Who are we? |
Your social media creates a bubble around you, allowing you see only what appeals to you most. Together, we aim to bring to the front social issues that are often ignored online. To give a voice to the homeless where they never had one before and show that they are just like us.
What do we want to achieve?We want to use our adverts to remove the divide between the average person and the homeless. Perceptions of the homeless can be improved with statistics and understanding. This is the first step, the next step is to encourage people to change lives. Through both organized events and simple conversation.

How can you help your community?Our site offers a range of ways that you can make a difference to homeless people. You don't always have to give up an entire day or donate. There are plenty of ways to get involved and enjoy doing it.
