Matt understands the immense challenges and struggles, both emotionally and physically, which can make it even more difficult to 'get back on your feet.'
Matt now runs Homeless Not Hopeless with the support of a committed team of trustees and volunteers, all with different backgrounds and expertise.
Those who experience homelessness do not have a place they can call home. This includes people spending nights in shelters, on the streets, in abandoned buildings or even couch surfing. There is no single reason why someone can end up without a home. Personal circumstances and wider factors both play their part.
We are looking for caring and compassionate volunteers to join us who can give us their time and commitment, no matter how small. We also need volunteers with vans or large cars who can help us with our outreach work in Bradford City Centre on Wednesday evenings and the last Saturday of the month.
Be it through anger or compassion, our determination comes from the injustice of homelessness
in 21st Century Britain.
We are currently an Unincorporated Association with the aim of becoming charity status as soon as possible.
"I started HNH because I am ex-homeless and I have a heart.
I wanted to give something back."
