Help celebrate the vital role of supported housing

Housing associations, campaign supporters and local politicians have been busy organising visits, requesting supporter boards and raising awareness of the difference supported housing makes to people’s lives. Join us in celebrating all the activities and events achieved throughout the Starts at Home campaign to highlight the vital work of supported housing.

1. Customise your message to raise awareness online

• Create a poster to share on social media
• Download the Starts at Home support graphics and share them on social media
  
   
• Download the header image below and add to your Twitter profile
  
• Add our Twibbon to your Twitter profile image.
  
• Don’t forget to include the #startsathome hashtag to see your posts on our Supporter wall.

2. If you haven’t already, get your free Starts at Home supporter board

For all events, email us your postal address and we’ll send you a supporter board. Get photos of your local MPs holding the supporter board ready and share these online on Starts at Home day using the #startsathome hashtag.

4. Engaging with your MPs

Raising awareness doesn’t stop after Starts at Home day so if you would like to reach out to your local MP, you can still use the resources to let MPs know why supported housing is important to you.

• Engaging with your local MP for the Starts at Home campaign

5. Provide a case study

To demonstrate the vital contribution of supported housing, we need case studies to tell the story. Do you have a great resident case study?

Use our case study template and consent form as a guide and we’ll add it to Stories.

6. Guide to future funding for supported housing

The Government is currently reviewing how supported housing is funded and our guide outlines the issues and our recommendations {pdf} for the future of supported housing.
