The St Pancras and Somers Town Living Centre cordially invite you an event to tackle rough sleeping in the borough.
The evening will include:
- An exhibition of work from artists who have experienced homelessness and rough sleeping
- The launch of Realisation of Assets Model
- The Launch of the Wishing Wall
On the Realisation of Assets Model, head of ST Living Centre Jodie Allen described it as, ‘Community Centres using their buildings on days when they would normally be closed to offer somewhere warm and dry for homeless persons, at minimal cost to all parties.’
Sarah Elie MBE of the Somers Town Community Association further added that, ‘the Realisation of Assets Model is a chance to move away from the current models of delivery that sadly maintain the unhealthy cycles of dependency on traditional funding methods for those less fortunate and those that help the less fortunate. For me this approach is cross-sectoral … For some an asset may be themselves, for others it could be use of a building they manage; others may have a contractor with surplus uniforms/overalls that could be used as new clean clothes … I could go on, but in short every problem has a solution and that solution invariably requires a step change in how an asset is used. So let’s take that first step.’
