Moving Lives — T4K Jan Update

Happy New Year. I have say that it does feel that 2026 started a very long time ago even if my calendar says that it is still January. Things are tough. The Home Office machine has crept slowly back into gear. They are making decisions, but unlike the last backlog clearing exercise, those decisions are negative and of poor quality. It is overloading the tribunals and there simply isn’t capacity in the legal aid sector to ensure that people have representation. The net result is an awful lot of homelessness. Even when people win, the Home Office want you out of your accommodation in 28 days (if you follow the link, you will see that they do not always get their way. It doesn’t help much). It pushes the burden onto the council. The council will do their best to avoid it, the voluntary sector and the community picks up the pieces.

Beyond a Boundary

If we can afford to wage war on the country for 20 years, we can find space for those made homeless by that war. We also have to put our money where our mouths are. If we have spare rooms and can have people in our house, we can offer it through Room for Refugees. If we are landlords, we can rent at prices that are affordable. And if we have spare change, we can pool it to make homes for those with nowhere else to go. It is what humans do. It is who we are. We make space for all.

Room at The Inn — T4K Dec Update

It has been another busy month at Thousand 4 1000. Not only have we been busy raising funds by selling masks and Christmas cards, one of our newest members, Jimmy, set about raising money by restricting his consumption in the run-up to Christmas to just £1 a day. It was an anti-consumerist move designed to encourage people with a little more than enough to share some of their abundance with those without. He raised over £1000.
