Statement on deaths of people who are homeless in Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland in 2020
Read moreWe are aware that official statistics are being released this week regarding deaths of homeless people. We welcome the collection of official statistics and the attention paid to them – the loss of life on this scale is an issue of national importance. However we urge everyone to remember that behind each statistic was a real person, who had people who cared about them.

THANK YOU to the legends of Secret Museum
Read more“The Secret Museum is 11 days of wonder as the Museum of Homelessness searches for its own permanent base, this moment has come and gone. As I write these words it is already packed up and ‘moved on’.This is a museum with objects and object stories at the very heart of it, rather than a museum which happens to have objects inside it. The objects and their stories are tethered together, they are inseparable, the connection is what gives them their power.”
